I have a C in my PE class right now. It could drop to an F this week. I missed a couple of classes because I had other assignments and sometimes I was a bit sick and couldn’t work out. I will definitely start participating after the spring break but the teacher’s not very good at giving high grade. The teacher gave me a low grade even when I was participating. My school’s graduation policy says that I need some credits to graduate. It doesn’t say anywhere that I need to pass the class. Do I get credit only if I pass the class? I got into UCI and I don’t want PE class to impact my admission. I have A’s in all my other classes
You should talk to your school guidance counselor about the impact of possibly failing the class. You might have to take it in summer school. Also, I suggest apologizing to your PE teacher for not giving the class your full effort and promise to finish well. Maybe ask for extra credit work, such as a written report/presentation on student health, dorm room fitness, etc.
Do everything you can to get a C…failing could lead to your not graduating and could lead to your college acceptance being rescinded. Talk to the teacher, talk to your guidance counselor. Straighten this out ASAP. Having other assignments is no excuse for missing a scheduled class - even gym – why would you jeopardize everything you have worked so hard for?
Go apologize to your PE teacher, explain you weren’t feeling well, admit that you got overwhelmed and cut corners including in PE, but now want to set things straight and make it all better. Offer to do extra work or a presentation.
If you get an F, you’ll be rescinded from UCI.
^^^I wouldn’t say you weren’t feeling well…that is just adding a lie to the equation. Stick with saying you were overwhelmed, made a bad choice to skip gym, and you are sorry and would appreciate if the he/she could work with you to help you make up what you missed (either a project, or attending the missed gym classes during a study hall etc.).
^I worded it like that because OP indicated s/he wasn’t feeling well at times ( “I was a bit sick”).
@MYOS1634 sorry, missed that…but in our HS that would not fly as an excuse unless you went to the nurse.
I am just gonna make up for it after the break. Or go before school to make it up. Our high school allows us to walk on the track to make up assignments.
I’d talk to your teacher first and agree upon a plan.
Apply the level of effort to PE that you do in your other classes, and a failing grade will not be an option and therefore not a concern.
Make sure you apologize. It is insulting to get As in every class except PE. You disrespected your teacher.
Also, you can’t get rescinded for a B. You WILL get rescinded for an F.
I participated today and she gave me 69% I will work out after spring break. I’m sure I can get a B
