subject: High School Homework Help [print this page] Each year across the world teens endure their first day of high school. For some of them this is a day they've been waiting for and eagerly anticipating for months -- if not years. For others, this is a day that they've been dreading and which has them feeling nauseous. For those who welcome the challenge of high school, parents have a fairly easy job of just keeping their teen's enthusiasm under control, and not permitting them to over-schedule extra curricula activities by reminding them of an increase in homework assignments.
For those who have teens who wish they never had to go to high school, and regard the first day as something to be feared, parents have a much tougher challenge. No matter how much they want to keep their child safe and happy, they have to validate their child's fears while at the same time encouraging them that high school may not be as bad as they think it's going to be.
Most junior high school science classes broadly cover the natural science, from basic physics, chemistry, earth sciences, and biology. Grasping so many concepts can be tricky, though, so if you need homework help for eight grades, you should consider these following points.
When schools change from general ideas to specific concepts in terms of teaching science. Teachers are preparing you for high school the more rigorous science classes you will take in high school. Therefore, it is vitally important that you start building good study habits ASAP. Up until this point in school, you could probably get by without studying or readying the book too closely. Well, not anymore. It is really important to read the assigned chapters in the book and understand what the book is saying. Also very important is to do the homework and understand what you're doing! You will eventually be tested on the material covered in homework--that is a guarantee.
If you believe you're spending enough time reading the book but aren't getting the grade you want, you should consider getting homework help for 8th grade science from another source, be it your parents or a tutor. If you're already spending 4-6 minimum per week studying (that should probably be enough studying to get an A in most junior high science classes), then you need to seek outside help. A tutor can quickly help you get back on track with the concepts from class. Ask your teacher if you are looking for and can't find additional homework help.
High School Grades are Important
College admission is competitive. Your student needs more than good test scores or extra-curricular activities to gain admission to the college of his or her choice. Even if your student is pursuing admission at a less competitive school, it is important that he or she have options. The college experience is about choosing a school that matches personal academic, social, geographical and extra curricular preferences. Without options, your student will not be able to choose the best school for each of these criteria. Grades are important; class rank is important. One "C" in chemistry can significantly impact the options available
