If Grades Matter, Why Do They Shatter?

How much do YOU care about YOUR grades? Some people are “nerds” about their grades. Some don’t care, they just don’t study or do their homework.

Hello fellow students! This story will make you think more about your grades andhow much you care about them. Most people weknow do their homework during lunch or during their classes. You probably never thought that this was a big deal and was willing to take these consequences. Most think that the teachers won’t realize that they are doing their homework for other subjects. But once caught, you have a 90% chance of getting a call home or you home work being ripped in half. This happened to one of our fellow classmates during class; he was doing his Math homework. He shall remain nameless.

So now you are wondering doing homeworkin class shows that you care about thembut that is a definite NO. Well this shows thatyou don’t. By doing your homework in another class you are not paying attention to the lesson that is going on. There is why homework has the word HOME- in front (which means that you do it at home). After interviewing ten people we found out that seven out of ten people do their homework and just two of these people do it only sometimes. If in every ten people the results are like this then this proves that many students do not care enough about their homework. If some people do their homework in school, I recommend that you should wait and do you homework during Beacon or other after-school program.Next time you do homework in class (if you have a conscience) think about you grades and ask yourself: Do I Care About My Grades?
