Not going to grade is a difficult situation, both for the students concerned and for their parents. There are many things that cause someone not to go to class, such as being absent too often, difficulty understanding the material being taught, or various other reasons. Did you experience it? No matter how tough the situation is, you still need to deal with it wisely if you want to achieve success in the future. Don't worry, every human being always has the opportunity to correct his mistakes. The question is, will you commit to improving your academic performance while you have the chance?
Step
Part 1 of 3: Dealing with Social Impact
Step 1. Don't be too hard on yourself
Possible feelings of upset, disappointment, sadness, and fear will be mixed when you hear the news. But remember, your world won't end just because you don't advance! Try your best not to blame yourself too much or be sad for a long time. Even if it's difficult, try to treat the decision positively. Make this decision a boost to improve your academic performance in the future. If you are able to do it, don't be surprised if this situation can actually be a turning point in your life.
- If you don't go to class, it doesn't mean you are a bad student or very stupid. Basically, you just need more time to reach the required standard of value.
- Remember, your teachers make these decisions because they want the best for you, not because they want to punish you.
- Don't turn into a loner or demotivated person! If you do, it is feared that the future impact will actually be worse for you. It is very important for you to stay motivated and think positive.
Step 2. Decide how you will share the decision with others
In the end, you still have to tell your friends that you didn't go to class. Think which is better: telling them in person or via social media? Your decision really depends on the closeness of your relationship with them.
- Chances are, some of your classmates will mock your situation. If that's the case, don't sweat it too much. Think of what kind of sentences you could say to friends who responded negatively to the news. For example, you might say, “I just need more time to understand math. No big deal, really.
- It's a good idea to respond to the topic calmly and relaxed. If you don't appear angry and can accept it gracefully, chances are your friends will also respond in a positive and painless manner.
Step 3. Keep in touch with your old friends
Just because you have to part ways with them, doesn't mean you need to completely cut off communication. Try to keep spending time with your best friends outside of school hours.
If you think your old friends are a bad influence that keeps you from going to grade, it's a good idea to keep your distance from them; spend more time with friends who are positive and able to motivate you
Step 4. Make new friends
Making friends in a new class is something you must do! At first you may find it difficult, but keep trying! Remember, one of the main keys to success in school is comfort. You must be able to feel comfortable with yourself, your studies, and your classmates. You will surely be able to enjoy the new class conditions and be more motivated to improve your academic performance.
- If you don't go to class because you're not as mature as other people your age, you're more likely to get closer to your new classmates.
- Try joining a particular extracurricular group or sports club so you can spend more time with your new friends outside of class.
Part 2 of 3: Improving Performance in School
Step 1. Think about what kept you from going to class
To improve your performance in school, you first need to understand why you're not going to grade. If you missed a grade because of difficulty understanding the material, chances are all you need is extra time and perseverance. If it turns out that you don't go to class because you are often truant, don't pay attention to the teacher, or are lazy to do homework, it's a sign that there are many things that you really need to change in order to improve your performance.
Step 2. Get involved in your academic plans
Your parents and teachers may have their own plans for what you need to be successful. However, it would be better if you want to involve yourself in the planning. Discuss with your parents and teachers the best way not to repeat the same mistakes. Your opinion may influence your school to change your study plan in a direction that is more favorable to you.
- If you feel you need more time to take a test or get special attention in certain classes, make sure you pass it on.
- Don't blame your teacher, but tell your parents that your teacher's way of teaching doesn't suit you. If you want to improve your performance, it's a good idea not to study the material with the same approach a second time.
Step 3. Work hard
If you want to improve your performance in school, there's no other way but to work hard! Make sure you listen to your teacher's explanations and understand their expectations of you.
- Don't play truant and pay close attention to your teacher's explanation.
- Take notes on the material being explained.
- Do your homework well. It's a good idea to make a regular schedule and have a special place to do homework.
- Build good study habits.
- If you don't understand the material you're reading, read it again until you really understand it.
Step 4. Improve your behavior
If the reason for your failure has to do with behavior, not your academic ability, then what you need to do is improve your behavior. Talk to your parents and teachers about your problematic behavior and their expectations of you.
If you are having trouble controlling your own behavior, share your difficulties with your parents and teachers; chances are, they can provide the additional support you need. In addition, you can also try to consult with a school counselor
Part 3 of 3: Seeking Additional Help
Step 1. Don't be afraid to share your problems
If you're still having trouble, make sure you seek help before it's too late. The sooner you manage it, the easier it will be for you to pinpoint what went wrong and improve your grades.
Step 2. Ask your teacher for help
If you have difficulty understanding a material, make sure you directly ask the subject teacher in question. If possible, ask questions in class so your teacher can explain right away.
If you don't feel comfortable asking questions in class (or if there's not enough time), approach your teacher right after class. Make sure he knows that you have tried hard to understand the material but are still having trouble
Step 3. Consider taking lessons outside of school hours
If your teacher can't give you the extra help you need, try taking lessons for materials that are difficult for you to understand. Many schools offer additional class programs for students who have difficulty understanding the material; make sure you discuss the various options available with your teacher or school counselor.
- If your school does not provide additional class programs, your teacher may offer you the opportunity to study with other students in your class.
- Private lessons are another option you can take (though they are much more expensive). Regardless of your needs and the financial situation of your family, private tutoring is a very powerful option to improve student performance in school. Try to consider it.
Tips
- No matter how sorry you are, try to view the situation as an opportunity to step back for a moment and fix all the mistakes you've made.
- Remember, education is an ongoing process; Your values today are built on your past values. That is, if you have not mastered the fourth grade material, it is impossible for you to get the maximum score in the fifth grade. By repeating the class, you are given the opportunity to deepen the material that has not been mastered, so there is no need to feel difficult when you have to accept new material.
- There's no need to care what other people think or say.
