waterqueen Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 So My boyfriend is failing Chemistry. We have no idea why but he literally has an F. He's such a hard worker so it's not like he's lazy or not doing his work. We're juniors in IB and we have a great teacher. I've helped him study for tests before and... he wants to give up. What do we do?? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CkyBlue Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I have no idea why he has no idea why he is failing. Really, how could he not know why he's failing?Not such a great question IMO. Go on, go fix it....Well since it's your first post, I do not want to traumatize your first experience being your first replier. Please read the threads on how to post, and although your scenario might be acceptable, please post and ask questions smartly.Seriously, you're IB1 students. O.oJust find out why he's failing and do something about it. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyboi Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 The easiest solution to the problem is to switch out of the class and into another subject (maybe Environmental SL or Bio SL). The harder yet doable option is to..... study, study, study!

Mahuta ♥ Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Okay, I am going to make this short and clear. If you guys have a great teacher, still in IB1 and you help him with test revision and he still gets a bad grade, there are two possibilities:He is just not a chemistry person and should drop it immediately.He doesn't want to put an effort because ..well lots of reason, doesn't like it, not bothered...etc. If that's the case he still drops it or stops being a lazy idiot-wanna-be and starts putting an effort. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dessskris Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 I have no idea why he has no idea why he is failing. Really, how could he not know why he's failing?ROFL!!! if this were on TSR, you would've got more than 30 repsto OP, did the teacher tell him what percentage an F is? if so how many percent is it? might be different with the IB boundaries, so you shouldn't worry too much.

The Filipino Limner Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I feel the same way sometimes, but motivation, pure motivation is needed to get through it! I also have a problem with physics, but I'm slowly coping! You can do it! You may want to but more books, like Chemistry for the IB Diploma by Hodder Education, or try out some of the experiments in the book. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
