Earning Great Grades

Work hard. Getting good grades in school is not a walk in the park. A+ Grades cannot be summoned with a flick of the wrist and poof!, there is a grade you can be proud of. Make sure you understand that.

Listen to the teacher. This doesn't mean talking while listening...no, they don't go together. Listening ultimately lets information or directions to come right in, so you don't have to get up and ask the teacher what he/she said and make them annoyed. Remember the rule: "Silence is Golden, Duct Tape is Silver"^{[1] X Trustworthy Source Edutopia Educational nonprofit organization focused on encouraging and celebrating classroom innovation Go to source}

Set aside time to study. When a test is coming, actually study for it. Yeah, maybe you thought you remembered everything, except when you're on the test and notice you forgot Einstein's theory of Relativity or who the second king of Kush was. Studying can almost always stop this from happening. Pick a night you're free and devote it to finding a good way of studying, taking notes, etc. Studying with friends can help tremendously, as long as you can work and accomplish tasks efficiently without getting side-tracked.^{[3] X Research source}

Responsibly complete your work. Probably the most obvious rule. Get your brain going and get that work done! What do you think the teacher's going to grade? So sit down, and start completing that homework!

Respecting Your Teachers

Do your best at everything. It reflects on your character and who you are.
Be nice! Nobody likes a snob, a know-it-all, or a "get out of my way or I'll punch your brains out!". There's always a good-side of everything, kinda' like yin-and-yang. Think before you do. Also, think about this: who you are and what you do defines what is attracted to you. If you're not a very nice person to others, not very nice things may happen to you, like a scolding.^{[4] X Research source}

Use your manners. Closing a door on the jerk that humiliated you last block isn't right. There's no need for revenge. Try being polite to other people, it's contagious! Teachers will be more prone to being polite to you too, as well! Not only that, other people will be more prone to becoming friends, etc.

Don't cuss or swear. It makes you look like uneducated. It's easy to form a bad habit of swearing. If you swear regularly, you won't even get anything out of using the words, so avoid the habit before you begin.^{[5] X Research source}

Know that insecurity is common and natural, but some people let it control them. If you feel like you have to act differently around others or do stuff that you don't want to do while around companions, it's a sure sign of insecurity. If you feel this is interfering with your ability to be a great student, a counselor can help you lots!^{[6] X Research source}
