And on Friday, a huge pile of books to prepare for Monday. Failing a pop quiz or a major test can make a major difference in a student's grade and grade point average. And if you happen to fall asleep during class, you get into trouble. Believe it or not, some students really do want to make good grades and graduate with honors. But to do that you have to fill out applications and resumes, keep up on your homework and participate in other activities.
Teachers stress how much community service, leadership and grades are important.
What I really find interesting is that if a person forgets to attend a meeting, skips a practice, or gets a bad grade, then people tell you to grow up and take responsibility. Teens ARE growing up with tons of responsibility. Another stress that students receive is when teachers don't respect the students. Teachers need to show respect to the students before it can be given back to them. There is also a test called the Stanford that determines a student's classes next year.
