School

How to work the system:

1. Teachers have people and have emotions. Say hi the first day, and get out materials. Sit in front (you'll be moved most likely for assigned seats). Do all your homework the first week or so, and don't be late. Then they'll like you and forgive you later. Also, you should befriend your counselor early. Just stop by and say hi. Anything to get them to like you. If your counselor likes you then they will help you when you need to get an easy teacher.

2. Learns the grading system well, and plan out when you don't need to do things. Snatch up the easy homework assignments, and don't do the big ones. Also see if you can arrange something with people to copy them one night and they copy you one night. If you know you're going to be taking a class that a friend is currently taking later then see if you can get their work when it is given back. That makes that class so much easier.

3. Pay attention during lectures. Actually learn. You'll need to actually know what they're talking about if you're going to not do any work. This also makes the teacher happy with you. If you pay attention, and do great on tests then they don't care as much if you blow off assignments or do projects last minute.

4. Don't overachieve on early projects. If the teacher sees the messiah of all projects from you then they will expect that again. If you do an average project then they will expect an average project the next time.



This is just my way at least, and for high school. I always get an A. I'm also not in remedial classes.

What school do you go to so I can see the national 'grade' on it? Also high school is much different than college. High school you get a relationship with your teacher, for College, at least in my experience you don't get that kind of oppurtunity. Also I'm looking at the finacial piece of it, which handicaps a lot of students including myself. Even with the grants I have acquired it only pays for meh a year and a half of my education.

Your 'working' the system is just about what a responsible student should do, not really concrete. A lot based off assumptions anyway.
