What happens if you flunk a grade, can you be "left behind'?

"no child left behind" means that schools cannot just push students on to the next grades without them knowing the curriculum. yes he can be held back, and it would actually be in his best interest. he wont pass 8th grade (which is where GPA starts to count for college) if he cant pass 7th!

well depending on wether you go to a private or not the consequences will very. Usually in private schools it is very harsh. eg failure etc but in public schools u usually just have to sit the test again. it's not worth it.

I failed college algebra, finite math and economics.  I managed to barely pass the second time around.  I'm terrible at math, I just don't get it.  I made straight A's in English and History type classes though.  They say people are "wired" certain ways.  Don't feel bad if you fail a class or two.  Just try harder the second time, learn from your mistakes, and maybe get a tutor!

The only way that they can be erased is if the community college has an academic forgiveness policy.  What I mean by that is that you reapply to take classes there and state whatever caused you to get those grades and ask the college to erase them.  However, most policies state that there must be a certain gap of time (e.g. six years) before you can apply for this.  Also, retaking the classes and earning a higher grade is always an option.

Oh yes, here at my local school they call it 'survey'.  Check it out - there won't be any grades involved.

It can hardly be true. BUT, it depends the system of your school. Normally, the system for GPA = sum of point of the grade (say A=4.0)x no. of credits of the course/ total credits. So, in you take much more credits next semester than last semester, then you can help your poor GPA of last semester. Besides, some schools have different weightings on different semesters. Let's say freshmen yr is 100%, sophomore counts for 120%, junior 150% etc (just a rough idea). This system is based on the ideas that the level of difficulty gradually increase so the grades at higher level should be taken more consideration.

You go to school to earn an education, not a grade. Learn from your mistakes and do better next time. One grade, after all, is not the end of the world. Getting extremely upset will only make your other grades suffer.

I don't know what kind of random hits your teacher is making on the students.  Perhaps you can't get past that?  I went to three universities and graduated with a 4.0 GPA in all.  The key to my good grades was my note taking.  I took amazing notes and then when I got home, I went through them and outlined my notes making more sense of them.  By the time I got through outlining and making a really nice bunch of note pages, I knew the material.  It helps to not be freaked out by tests as well.  They never bothered me.  You either know it or you don't.  I think trying to study at the last minute outside the classroom door is foolish.  All that can do is get you all nervous and confused.  Even being around other students who are panicking over their last minute studying will have a negative effect on you.  I stayed away from the classroom and those students until the very last minute and didn't crack a book before the test.  Like I said, "If I didn't know it when I got there, I wasn't going to learn it in 5 minutes!"  I also helped other students study for their exams (the same ones I was taking) and this also solidified the information in my brain.  In that case, you give and you get something in return.  If there was an area which was extremely difficult to grasp onto, I stayed after class and talked to the instructor or made use of the computer programs available for that particular subject.  Good grades take hard work.  Your grades to date are not to be sneezed at, so don't be so hard on yourself.

Get to the root of your depression and then deal with that, the grades will fall into line after that.

i know what you are going through because im also a straight A student but whenever i get a bad grade i have to tell my parents because then the guilt comes in not telling them.  it may be hard yo stand up to your dad but if you have the bad grades and you tell him your trying really hard to work them off that usually works.  Good luck!!!

Good luck.  I doubt seriously they will accept your "I wasn't supposed to be in those classes anyway" excuse.

No, not unless the are excessive enough to be made note of on your academic record.  Truancy, or unexcused abscenses beyond the legal limit may be made reference to, but otherwise no just your high school transcript and GPA.  Also, depending on the college or university you apply to - they may ask for a letter of reccommendation from a teacher or guidance counselor.  If you have a poor repore with your teachers, couselors, or principals - their reccommendation may not capture your best qualities.  It may instead reflect what they see, rather than what they know of you.

You will be graded according to what you've earned.  I wish you all 1's, but if you end up with something less, and you tried your hardest, that's OK too.

Because you got what you deserved...  The question should be; why did i get a bad report card?  Was it because you did not study, missed class, or just sit there and paid no attention... Whatever, you need to improve your grades.

If you retake a class, as I understand it, the grade you get the second time around replaces your failing grade - schools may be able to see that you retook the class, but not what your original grade was.  A lot of people retake classes just because they aren't happy with a B!  \n\nYes, medical schools allow it as well as other health related fields.

No, you didn't ruin your chance of becoming a nurse... but you did effect your GPA.  You don't say what you earned for the class, but with failing the final it can't be good news.  I suggest talking with your guidance counselor about your options... you might need to take it again or take an additional math course to compensate for the low grade.  Don't let one grade (or even a few grades, for that matter) stand in the way of your goals.
