How To Get Good Grades

by Brittany Fitzgerald

Good grades rock. They will affect us later on and are very important to kids and parents. They mostly affect kids later but it depends if you have good grades or bad grades. Bad grades will really affect you later. You probably won't be able to get a scholarship in college. You might have to work in a fast food place for the rest of your life!

Getting good grades doesn't have to be too hard. Mrs. Kingery says that to get good grades, students should come prepared to school, pay attention in class, and ask questions. Alicia Gomez says it's important to turn in your work, even if it's not all the way done because even a 50% is better than a zero. And finally, Mr. Cabrera says that you need to come to school prepared to do your work.

Students should care about their grades now because they could stay back in that grade at the end of the year. Most importantly, realize that teachers are not there to make fun of you, nor are they out to get you. They really want to help you accomplish your dreams and be happy. All they ask is that you behave in class so other kids have a chance to accomplish their dreams too.

Grades are important to me because I want to go to college and get a degree. If you want to have a good job and get a good education, follow everyone's advice above to get good grades.
