¡¡¡¡¡°Sometimes you just get a strict teacher£®Instead of letting others know that this isn't your favorite class£®Make an effort to show your teacher you are doing your best£®¡±
£Jocelyn Howard, 16
¡¡¡¡¡°Learn to put your activities in order of importance£®School comes first, and if you just study as soon as you get home, it's OK£®You can also relax and play computers or do the other things you enjoy£®But don't settle for(³ÁÄçÓÚ)just getting by£®Try hard! And don't be afraid to get help from teachers£®¡±
£April Madlangbanyan, 17
¡¡¡¡¡°If you have trouble getting along with a specific teacher, pray about it£®Ask God to help you see that teacher through HIS EYES, not your own£®And talk with that teacher£®Good communication can strengthen any relationship-even with a hard-to-get-along-with teacher£®¡±
£Lisa Shaw, 21
¡¡¡¡¡°Being a good student means being organized£®Remember to bring all your supplies, everything-to each class every day£®Make sure that you'll never skip(ÌÓ)class£®And when you're in class, really pay attention! Don't let yourself daydream or write notes to friends£®Completing your homework on time is also important£®¡±
£Victoria Walsh, 16
¡¡¡¡¡°When you're having trouble getting along with a certain teacher, stay calm! You may not agree with him or her, but you've got to remember the teacher is the authority(ȨÍþ)figure£®So make sure that you're respectful and open-minded£®Ask for a specific time the two of you can talk£®Explain yourself and address(̽ÌÖ)problem, not the teacher£®¡±
£Amanda Baken, 18
¡¡¡¡¡°Being a good student means studying often, not just cramming(ÌîѼʽµÄÓù¦)before a test£®Identify(ʶ±ð)your weak areas£®For example, maybe you don't have good reading skills or it's hard for you to take notes£®Once you identify what your weakness is, ask for help in these specific areas£®Be willing to go in early or stay after school to get extra help£®Go into the school year knowing that being a good student will require time and effort!¡±
