How do I get better grades in school and improve my handwriting????

[BrainsBrawn12]

These are my current grades in school. There's no L.A grade because my L.A teacher hasn't really updated anything recently.

For this I want to know if it's bad or good or average?

Ever since the 5th grade my grades have been going downhill slowly. I'm not really good at math and I'm not doing so hot in science because they can't read my writing. I mean, my writing looks like a kindergarten's work, same with my drawing too. My teachers keep telling me I've so much potential, but I've decided that my writing is getting in the way of that. Also, how do I improve my writing? Here's a pic of my writing: 4781. Help!

I couldn't look at the writing link - it was broken.

I would have no idea whether the grades were good, bad or average as my school has a totally different system of grading. I would assume that you could improve significantly, as your grades have many above them. I have to say, though, that the amounts of sicks seem a little ridiculous. What time period have they been in? The semester? The year? Attending school all the time would be very helpful in my mind.

Handwriting, though, doesn't seem like it would hold you back, unless it's unreadable. Again, I couldn't look at the link. I would assume it's the quality of the writing itself. Of course, I have a lot to improve on in that front.

For your grades - i'm not sure how people do bad in school. Providing that you're in the recommended level for your mental capabilities, if a teacher gives you an assignment complete it to the best of your ability. Study in your spare time, and pay attention in class.

As for your handwriting; i'm not sure what it currently looks like due to the broken link. But if you're writing in cursive, don't. Start printing, it's ultimately more legible than traditional handwriting.

If you already are printing, find a handwriting style that suites you. Continue to practice the alphabet in that handwriting style - as if you were relearning how to form your letters.

Practice makes perfect.

The first time I wasn't at school, I had to go to a funeral because someone in my family died in Texas. The second and third, possibly fourth, was when I overslept, and the fifth was when I had a cold.

I really can't read the copy/paste gradebook thing. So i'm going to assume you have a C-average or lower

Ways to increce your GPA
1) Take classes at your skill level. Don't take AP World when you struggle with time longer than 400 years, don't take Honors Writing when you can't write quickly and well, ect.
2) Talk to your teachers. In high school it's hit or miss whether or not they want to help but in University they generally are trying to pass you, if you talk to them and show the effort you'll do better.
3) For the love of fucking holyness DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Even if it doesn't count. The practice will do you good.

For handwriting.
Stop writing in 2 lines. Larger handwriting has more chance to become sloppy.
Switch to printing if you're allowed to, most people's cursive sucks.
Practice?

What the fuck is AP classes? I'm in the 7th grade, not high school. I wrote in 2 lines because I didn't feel the need to write in just one.... And I actually have a passing grade on homework. I also have, when I left 6th grade, a 3.5 GPA.

AP is advanced placement classes.
I assumed you're in high school because you don't have an age up and most people worried about their grades are in high school. This forum is 13+, and you basically just admitted to being 12.

Regarding your homework
Most people don't do their homework, and this is why they do so badly. so yes I'm gonna bring it up. Did you miss the fact that I said i can't understand that gradebook?

Why are you worried about your grades if you have that high?

No, I didn't admit that. I got held back in preschool and at that time I was around 5. So, if you do the math, 1st grade = age 7, 2nd grade = age 8, 3rd grade = age 9, 4th grade = age 10, 5th grade = age 11, 6th grade = age 12, and 7th grade = age 13. So yes, I'm 12, but I'm only like a couple months away from being a teen, so technically I'm a teenager because I'm only a couple a months away from that so I might as well say I'm 13. I usually do my homework, no matter how long it takes in fact we do most of our homework in my math and L.A class, in science I always come there in the morning since it's my period 1 class and do stuff I need to catch up on or read or etc. I'm really worried about my math and science grades to be honest because according to my L.A teacher now that I'm typing most of my assignments since my writing's so atrocious I'm doing better tenfold in l.a. In math. In math, I have a C, which on GPA scale (one to four) is a 2.0. In science, I have a B, which is a 3.0. I believe my GPA right now is a 3.0 - 3.3. Because of my bad math scores and bad science scores that is my GPA for the 1st quarter. 1st Quarter ended last Friday so that's why I want to improve my score and so I don't end up having the same GPA from last quarter or even lower than that. So, I need help in those two classes.

The OP is 12, so therefore, this thread will be :locked: to avoid confusion.
