Don’t drop out. I had the worst 7th grade math teacher. I know how you feel. It sounds like you have test anxiety. I have that too. Talk to your teacher and parents.

ps Don’t worry so much about not sitting next to your bf. In fact, I’d ask to be moved out of the class to avoid being distracted.

GROW UP!

The fact you even mention were your boyfriend sits in the class screams immaturity!

First you need to ask classmates to see if they are lost too? Maybe its just you? If its you or the whole class you need to approach the teacher first! (common courtesy!) If that doesn’t work only then can you talk to the HS administration about your problem. Start with a counselor and have some documentation of what you have been doing to try to help yourself (study groups, study habits, meeting dates and times with the teacher were you asked for help) with the evidence the counselor should be able to handle the situation! If its just a conflict between you and the teaher, perhaps you could be asked to go to another teacher who teachs the same course.

Good luck!

If there’s no other teachers, this is the only choice left: (I hate it, too)

-When you get home from school, you do ALL of your homework.

-Take out your math textbook, and do problems in there. Use examples to help

-Check it.

-Do more problems & check it.

-Do it again and again

That’s called studying. It’s a pain but, it’ll help you. Good luck!

Lose the boyfriend.

Work harder; Algebra doesn’t fall into your lap. When you “get” something, the teacher should move on; you should work to remember it.

stop blaming others.

You are exactly the same as you were in grade 4? then stop with the excuses.
