Grades only matter if you want to get into college, and those aren't good enough. Try harder, it takes what? 8 hours of homework a week in high school to get straight A's.

Atleast he is taking honors classes and trying. As mentioned above he used to be a little gang banger AKA: BUM. I think its a good start.. keep it up Danny and improve from there. Its all about developing the successful habbits

I know, it is a good start. But I'm just telling him what he needs to do if he plans on being successful when he's 30.

If you want to make A's then the best way is to practice proper grammar skills. Based on this thread alone, you fail....

An "A" in a regular class will look better on a transcript than a "C" in an honors class.

They are better then I ever got. You don't to get straight A's in high school to be successful numb nuts.

it's nice to see a young person take pride in improving the direction of their life. and hey, the effort is to be applauded too. kids deserve praise and respect for effort not just for perfection.

There are a lot of teachers who are going to be hard to understand, but you yourself are accountable for a poor grade. If you're struggling, seek help outside of class. However, good job on the big improvement. The greatest feeling in the world is looking back on your peers years later and knowing you are doing better than they are because you put in the work and they didn't.

I graduated with a 2.3 GPA and got into a every school that I applied to.

Good SAT's along with taking and successfully completing AP classes will take you further in the eyes of higher education than you'd think.

a lot of college students get in with a ged too.

That's not bad, but you can do better!

Then again if I used to get one B my grandmother would scream at me for hours about how I was wasting my God given brains by not focusing on school more... So I may be harder on you then others.

Never blame a teacher for your own failures.
