 I'm not failing any classes this year, due to me working my butt off to improve my GPA to graduate "Summa Cum Laude". Unfortunately, due to my medical leave, I am unable to work or go to school so as of now, there is not much I remember. I am going to have to kick my studying up to overdrive if I am going to relearn all I was taught, and catch up to the rest of my classmates. I have to learn two months of seven classes worth of material. It's going to be a killer year once I get back, but I am prepared to work as hard as possible to get back on track.

And teachers don't mind that! At least, most don't. They shouldn't. Asing questions is vital. It shows teachers that you're studious, eager, and want to do things the right way. Teachers usually give leniency to students who have proven that they actually care. So when you do mess up, your teacher will probably take it easy on you. At least, this has proven true in my many cases of messing up.

But ask as many questions as you need to. In private or during the lesson, if you don't understand something, just speak up. The teacher will explain it in the most simplest terms until it literally makes complete sense to you. And if tney weren't clear the first time, let them know! Who cares if the rest of the class is all sighing and like "ugh". I know I don't! There have been many times where the class is all smacking their lips and groaning because I have questions. And you know what I do? Turn around in my seat and tell them to shut up because none of them can fight me. True story.
This has to be the best piece of advice I can ever offer somebody. Excellently said KC. The main thing that helped me throughout my AP International Relations class, and Comparative Politics class is simply asking questions. If it was something I didn't know, you better believe that I will be the first one to ask. And yes, there will be plenty of times where most of the students were like "ugh not again". But you can bet money that the questions I asked, were questions they needed an answer to as well.

I was even commended once, by my teacher for my bravery to ask as many questions without the fear of ridicule. It got me so far as to have one of the highest scores in the exam. So while the students were groaning, I was busy passing. If it is something you don't get, like KC said, don't be afraid to speak up. Asking questions just might be the thing that get you that "A".
