Are you irresponsible and in need of help? Everyone has those days - the days where your head's not exactly in the game like it should be. As a kid, school is the most important thing in your life. You have to take responsibility of it. Don't know how? Keep reading!
Come to class on time and ready to learn. Don't be a minute late and bring everything you need for the day; the right note-taking materials, your homework, a lunch, etc. Be organized with them.
Respect the teacher. Even if the things you're learning aren't exactly interesting, pretend they are. Smile at her and be nice. Respect the grade she gives you on something. Don't stare at the clock throughout the class - that is a pet peeve of teachers and they will gain no respect for you.
Behave in class. Don't fool around with other classmates or with an object. Pay attention to the board and listen closely to the teacher. If another student starts talking to you, quietly tell them to be quiet and listen. If they still don't stop, just ignore them.
• If others are being bad during class and you take the blame for it, consider telling the teacher about this person if you feel comfortable. If not, try to ignore it as much as you can, and if the teacher calls you out, stand up for yourself, or talk to the person or the teacher afterwards.

Take notes. This is very important to do, especially if you're wanting to achieve good grades. Take notes neatly in a notebook. Don't copy every single thing the teacher says, but jot down whatever you think is important. Do this in pencil in case you have to erase something. After school, bring the notes home because they may be useful to have when homework.
Hand in your homework efficiently. Spend a sufficient amount of time on your homework every night. Keep it very neat (use pen or type it) in case you have to hand it in. Ask someone to check your homework (if you feel comfortable), but don't let them change it. It is your work, so you have to be responsible about it. Also make sure you turn your assignments in on time.
• Make up for missed or incomplete work. If you were absent one day, try to schedule a time to meet with your teacher and go over what you missed. If you didn't finish the test or handed in sloppy work, ask your teacher what you can do to make it better. If you feel uncomfortable doing this, ask a classmate to help you make up what you missed.

Help your classmates. Don't be a brat about it, but if they can't find their book, or they don't have a pencil or paper, lend them yours. Always be prepared to help them, and be respectful to them. Even if you there's a person you don't like, and you got assigned a project with them, kill them with kindness and move on.
