How do I do to get better in school?

sometimes cles are boring and you have to practically pinch yourself to stay awake, but not all the time. if you do a group project, or something, don't mess around the whole time, actually focus on the project. projects can actually be fun--at least, at my school, and you learn stuff without having to have to read pages of tiny black print.since you don't get homework that often it's doubly important you do it. sometimes it helps to listen to music at home while ur doing homework. if the teacher is looking for volunteers, volunteer--it'll keep ur mind on whatever he/she is going over and the teachers usually give you participation points for each day. even if you don't have homework, if you find you have an hour or so free, look over some of your notes, old homework, or the next lesson. it'll prepare you for any pop quizzes and keep the information fresh in your mind. if you know you rush through geography, or math, then make sure you double check your work, thoroughly. go through everything step-by-step, even if you think it's the right answer. on a test, it's not who gets done first but who gets the most right. sometimes you find dumb mistakes when you double check, and you have plenty of time to look over questions because you've already filled in all the answers. since this year's almost over, you'll probably have to wait until next year to see results, but u probably still have ur finals to take, so make flashcards, quiz urself, study and u'll be fine:)
