How Come My Dad Won’t Be Happy With Me Getting A 73?

Some parents are never happy with anything. You seem to have good marks overall, just keep at it and stop worrying too much what your dad thinks. The point is that you’ve tried and raised the grade, and a logical parent would appreciate that.
I always got top marks in English, the social sciences etc, but mathematics, forget it. I have never understood numbers! Everyone has their strong and weak points, focus on your strengths and try to improve your weaknesses.

he probably doesn’t think you’re trying hard enough, and maybe you’re not i dont know. showing him how HARD you try, keeping him updated and showing your teachers this too is MUCH more important than the actual grade. if you try your best (be honest with yourself) and just don’t have the ability to do better no matter what, then you can be satisfied and accept that he’s unreasonable. but try your very hardest and put in more time than other people to make up for your lack of math skills (been there, I’m a math dunce). sitting down with your textbook in the section you’re struggling with and teaching yourself from scratch can work wonders…it makes it more like a challange or a riddle than a boring school thing.

Because dad’s always want the best. My dad was the same way. He always wanted an A or above and I’d try really hard. Just do that. Try your best and make sure that your dad knows that. Bring home homework, and ask him to help you study for tests. He’ll know that you are trying and he can’t ask for more.

how are you getting 90′s in those subjects…and getting a 73?but defenitly DONT slack off in those subjects like the comment before mine…try some after school programs?

My dad is never happy if I’m not getting A’s. Ignore him. As long as you know you are doing your best it doesn’t matter what he thinks.

why not slack off in the other classes and improve the 73
