Bad News..

[color=\"green\"]Ask your teacher if there is anything you can do for extra points; a short project, read a book, whatever it takes. Show him you have some initiative and want to improve your grade mark.[/color]

I\'ve tried that.. Our school is divided up into \'teams\' I am on Team 8-1 (8 = 8th Grade ~ 1 = First Team) and my \'Team\' doesn\'t believe in extra credit (points) I asked him and his response was:

[quote name=\'Our Conversation\']Me: Mr Fischels?
Teacher: JOOOSSSHHH!!!! What do ya need?
Me: Is there ANYTHING I can do to get this grade up to at least a C-?
Teacher: Well Josh, its close to the end of the year and I do not think you can, and I doubt you could bring it up
(Comment: We have 20 days left as of May 7th)
Me: How come other people get to redo tests and other papers when their grade is bad, but when my grade is bad you don\'t allow it though?
Teacher: Because they are suffering more than you... They are down to F\'s, and not passing.  You on the other hand are passing with a D- not an F
Me: I don\'t find that fair
Teacher: Yeah well lifes not fair...
Me: I understand that, but--
(Comment: He interrupts (Spelling?))
Teacher: Our team does not believe in extra credit! You get what you get! Now get to your next class, josh![/quote]

I hate my teacher.. I have told mother about the grade and she was more \'calm\' than I expected :S But..... I don\'t know if this grounding thing will carry through -- But I never know with her..

[color=\"green\"]Well, all you can really do then is let your Mom know that you\'re making an effort, and really do make an effort. Perhaps she will take that into consideration.[/color]

Yea I have, I was being responsible by getting him to print out a grade report for me so I could give it to my mum
