 What if I am in extracurricular activities?
I think that it is great to be well-rounded, and with careful planning, you 
can participate in many extracurricular acitivies.  Remember, school comes 
first!  Thus, you can plan ahead, study for tests, complete and return your 
homework, and have fun!

 What if I do NOT understand the homework?
If you absolutely cannot complete the homework,and you can PROVE that you 
have made valid attempts to complete it, then you can take responsibility 
for your learning and attend a math tutorial session.

 Why do we have homework?
Practice, practice, practice!!! Michael Jordan did not show up on game day 
without practicing and expect to win, just as you will not show up on test 
day and expect to master all objectives.  You, like Michael, will PRACTICE, 
PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!

 Did you like math when you were a student in middle school?
No, I didn't understand the way that math was taught and I was afraid to ask 
for help.  I understand how students feel when they struggle with or do not 
like math.  You will be taught math in a variety of methods and you are 
strongly encouraged to ask for help!  Take ownership of your learning!
