This class moves too fast and has enough work without extra credit. * The pace of the class also makes it too difficult to have late work of make-up work, so there is none. Plus, since I drop you lowest essay scores and your lowest exercise scores I think it’s fair. If you miss one, that just becomes the one of the dropped ones. * Attendance * I have to call roll for the first couple of days for administrative purposes, but I will not take formal attendance.
He read it, it wasn’t anything positive bit it still was something that he could not unlearn and was a rude awakening to his situation, but he didn’t give up. Those who do not think and can’t read or write still have no clue about how sad their situation is. Yes they get that it sucks, but they don’t fully understand it.

If the bad boy who becomes a good boy ever gets into an argument with his girlfriend, she would be more likely to forgive him for what he has done, though he was a jerk before and apologized, because he was once bad, and now he is good, people respond to that easier than someone who you are always. Just like if I always was late to a class and I also never turning in my homework, I would get into trouble for sure, but on the contrary I were always on time to a class and I always turned in my homework and one day I started not turning in my homework ontime but i was on time to my class, I would most likely get away with it on the first few times due to my constant good behavior in class, but evetually the teacher wouldn't accept the assginment anymore because I would be expected to know better.

The recurring intervals between school sessions are perfect for either educational remediation or enrichment, depending on the student. Thousands of students sit in classes each day that do not fit their needs. The classes are either extremely difficult, and their grades suffer, or they are a breeze, an A requiring minimum effort. Whichever the case, school isn’t doing anything for them. Many times, unfortunately, this situation lasts for the entire 180-day school year.
Sickness and school is what has gotten me to my mental state. I suffer from migraines which when I have them effects my concentration and sight (makes things fuzzy etc) so when I have a migraine I can’t go to school because the only way to get rid of it is to rest it off. When my migraines become worse I get more time off school and then I get behind in school work which stresses me out and starts of my anxiety.

Maybe some of the times were my fault for falling behind due to procrastination but a lot of times I blew it off because I didn’t know how to begin or how to do it at all. When I finally had enough I started to stay after school to receive tutoring and to make up assignments and it made me wish I had done that a long time before. Being able to actually do the work that was given to me was having so much weight taken off my shoulders. When it was time to start deciding what I wanted to study in college, I drowned myself in stress all over again. I saw everyone else around me getting their acceptance letters and I knew that they were set.
