The main reason you are in school is to become an educated person. Reading, writing, and math are all skills that you will use throughout your life. It is important that at these early stages of your education you do the best that you can in each of your subjects.
Some students have a hard time getting good grades even though they have the ability.
Many times these students just need to learn some study skills in order to utilize their time and energy more effectively. Always have proper school materials while at school. A notebook, paper, and assortment of pens and pencils are the basics, but a calculator, colored pencils, and a ruler help prepare you for almost any classwork situation. Before you leave a class when it is over, make sure you know what the upcoming assignments are. Create some type of calendar for each class, listing when assignments are due and what activities you will be participating in.
