Everyone would like to be able to chill and home and not worry about school, but it’s not a reality. You probably won’t be able to succeed without doing work at home, as much as you might not like it, but if you plan and budget your work time with leisure time, you should be able to have plenty of free time while also finishing your work.

High school, at least for me, was pretty easy, and I think it’s not too difficult if you actually apply yourself and always ask for help when it’s needed. Difficulty, however, will vary from school to school, as different states and districts have different standards.

Although I think it is important to stay active and relax with family, it is also important to make sure that your studies are one of your priorities. At this stage in your life, school is your only job that you have to really be successful in…no easy ways out, just suck it up and do what is necessary. Just try to manage and organize your time so that you have time for fun and work!

Oh, and HS is all in what you put into it. If you’re smart (sounds like you are) and put effort into it, then yes, school will be easy for you. Not a walk in the park, but certainly not difficult.

Halfway through my sophomore year, I finally got my head on straight and started doing my work consistently. I had to really work my tail off, and I had to take weighted AP classes to do it, but I graduated above 3.5. Again, I still did well on my exams, but the difference came in doing my homework and doing it well.

Part of the reason for the homework in high school is to prepare you for college and career. Believe me, your college professors aren’t going to care one bit whether you feel like doing the work they assign…they’ll just plain drop you from their class. Your future boss won’t care whether you feel like doing your job…he’ll just fire you. Jr. high and high school, hard as they may be, are a lot of what forms that discipline in you. It’s a lot easier to learn that discipline now, when only your grades are on the line, than later…when a lot more is at stake.

Do your homework 🙂

You will definitely fail if you don’t do your homework, regardless of how smart you are.

In most of my classes, major grades (projects, test, essays, etc.) count for 60% and minor grades (homework, quizzes, etc.) count for 40%.

In Texas, where I live, an overall 70% is required to pass the class, but I believe in most states the requirement is 60%. Luckies. >:[

I don’t think there are usually programs after school, but you may be able to find a classroom in the morning or after school where the teacher comes early/stays late. You can explain to her how hard it is for you to concentrate with distractions at home and he or she most likely won’t mind you staying until they leave.

PS: Good luck in school!

and you cant get by with doing absolutely nothing at home if thats what ur thinking, but u can do nothing at home *most* days
