I second Khan academy. Use it for physics and you’ll do just fine. And you do not need a math teacher to give homework. All you need is to just do the problems in your math book. Be a big boy and do them even if the teacher does not assign them. That is the best way to improve your math abilities.
So, what are you actually going to DO? What CHANGES are you going to make going forward? You have been given plenty of useful and practical ideas here.
Another vote here for getting yourself screened for learning disabilities. You have a home language that isn’t English, and it looks like you may have fallen through the cracks. This happens to lots of ELL students for a number of reasons:
You are old enough to request LD screening on your own. You don’t have to wait until an adult does it for you. You can walk right into the guidance office and say, “Hey, I’m tired of struggling with my disorganization, and my inability to read with ease. I want to be screened for Dyslexia and for Executive Function, and I’d like to try reading with different colored overlays.” And then sit there until you have an appointment with the school psychologist to get those screenings done.
Once you have a label, you will be able to demand appropriate services, and the school district resource staff will be able to help you master the compensation skills that will make a difference in your life.
There are 4 of us in our family, and the one most financially successful is the one who did not do so well in school. He learned to focus and put in the time in the work he did; some opportunities, luck played a role as well. He has some handicaps, like he is blind in one eye, so it has taken him more time, discipline and more precautions to get the same results that others get, often a lot more.
@happymomof1 ?? In post #12, OP says:
I see you saying:
Am I missing something? Screening for LD is a good idea, of course.
Fujinese (more often spelled Fujianese) is one of the spoken Chinese languages, so I read the OPs statement as indicating this as a home language. No decent school district holds first graders back for simply being “illiterate”. They send them on to second grade with extra reading support. Being held back makes much more sense decision is much more sense in the context of language issues also being involved.
Why are you under the impression that Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are the most important things in life? They’re just workplaces. Just like any other. They happen to be better paid than most, but that doesn’t make them extra special places where everything shines. People go there every day and work for a living just like they do everywhere else. I suggest you think more broadly about what defines “success,” because picking 2 arbitrary firms is not the definition of success.
Sigh
