If you're having trouble in math, get help RIGHT AWAY. Everything builds in math. Once you fall behind in math you won't catch up without help. Ask your teacher for help and get help from a friend who's really good in math. You might even need a tutor.

Good Writing Position
Whether your students are writing in print or cursive (a disappearing form), they can improve the legibility of their writing by maintaining a good writing position. Writing in a good position promotes proper size, formation, and spacing of letters
Selective Attention
Students are apt to do many things in class that you do not approve of. You can go crazy trying to respond to everything. Some of these things can be ignored without negative consequences. Save your energy for those things that have to be attended to.
