I was playing a game on my computer when my mom walked in. She was carrying a paper with a concerned look on her face. She had my midterm report card. It was filled with some A's, but mostly C's and D's. So I sat there wondering, "Does your midterm report card really reflect what your final grade is going to be?" I don't think it does, for many reasons. My midterms have displayed similar things to this, but I always scrape away with an A in the end. There's many things that you can do to bring your grade up. There's make-up work, because most people aren't in school every single day it is in session. They might be at a dance competition, or in an assembly, or on a club field trip. There's also extra credit that most of the teachers I have don't offer until towards the end of the term. Sometimes looking at the midterms will make people realize that mistakes have been made in Powerschool(the grades program). I truly don't believe that your midterm grades reflect your final ones, unless you are a total slacker. If you are, then I guess that is what you deserve.
