Letter To Semester Average In High School

Decent Essays
I am writing you this letter in hopes of persuading you to boost my semester average up. This class is the toughest one out of all my seven, and the work you stack on us is impossible to complete with the little time you give us. In order to pass your class I need ten points added onto my semester average, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to earn them. I have checked in with some of the students from other classes and they're not doing as much work as we are in your class. It's hard to be in school and work right after; it's even harder when we have a lot of homework to worry about. We get two days to complete an assignment or essay, and I believe it is not enough time. Then on top of the work, you grade it so harshly it's impossible

    After lots of research I decided that we shouldn’t have the same classes 5 days a week and that some classes we don’t need as many years as we get. What I figured out is that we shouldn't have the same classes all 5 days each week but should instead change it up like they do in college. Colleges have found this helps lighten the homework load and make students feel better about it. After I thought of this I also thought do Chem, History, Gym, English, Math, and a foreign language really need as much time as we put into it. After I did lot of research I learned that the majority such as math and history don't and that they should actually have more of gym and some music classes…

    It has come to my knowledge that there is a limited amount of spots in the ENG 102 class for next semester. I am one of the best candidates to continue into ENG 102 and thrive in Ms. Laduca’s learning environment. Although I do not fear that I have not already earned my spot, I will proceed to justify my case. I have been an adroit student of Ms. LaDuca’s for the last year and a half; she knows exactly what kind of student I am. Since seventh grade, I have been an ebullient honors student in the top ten percent of the 2016 cohort and have not received any grades lower than an A. I always exceed expectations, put in 110% of my effort, and achieve and maintain excellent grades at the same time.…

    Do you ever wonder why we switch classes for school for other classes? Well in my opinion this is useless and even causes a problem for students like all of us. We waste more time switching and talking to our friends then learning. We do not create a bond with our teachers, and teachers don't have the freedom when they switch. Have you ever talked in the hallway while trying to switch well this is more of a time waster then a time user.…

    I took two classes for the summer of 2016, but the Interpersonal Communication class had me worried the most. I had a training with the army, and that required me to absence from school for two weeks.

Therefore, I was worried that I wouldn’t catch up with my classmates and end up failing the class. However, Ms. Anna was generous and extended the assignment due date for me; she even gave me an extra-credit assignment to replace the credits that I missed during my two weeks in training.…
