Answer 2

You can get straight A's in all your subjects if you follow this program meticulously, (and with the minimum of effort - it will require effort - but it will be easier if you work efficiently.)

1.  You must really want to get that Diploma, or whatever it is you're studying for. And you're determined to put in the necessary time and effort to get it.

2.  Make sure you understand exactly what the teacher wants. Don't be afraid to ask her questions if you don't understand. Make a nuisance of yourself if necessary. Don't be afraid that you classmates might think you're a dummy. They probably have the same problem.

3.  Make sure you understand the class assignments. Go and ask her after class to be sure.

4.  Work together with others. Have at least one very close friend in your class. Discuss class topics. Share everything. They're not your competitors, they're your support team. Work with others out of school as well.

5.  Read the assigned work carefully, especially the topic that's going to come up in your next class. And read ahead a little, (not to far ahead) to put what you're currently studying in context.

6.  Above all,  try to really concentrate in class. (I know this is your weak point.)  But it will save you much time and strife when you're doing your homework assignments - remembering what she said, instead of having to look things up.

Please remember, you're not working harder - you're working smarter.
