Question

Sal is in seventh grade and is struggling at school. He gets Ds and Fs; he never has his homework done; and he does not think he is smart. Because his older brother dropped out of high school, Sal has been thinking, "No one from my family ever did well at school, so neither can I." Write Sal a letter that describes three specific examples of tools or success strategies from this class that can help him. Give Sal hope and tools he can use to succeed. Show him that he can improve at school.
Your letter should be 7–10 complete sentences.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Is this from your English Class?

2.Test yourself, get a tutor, Read

Explanation:

To write your own letter, I suggest you start putting in some personal experience you have yourself on how you struggled in a subject but got better. A method of getting better would be for Sal to test himself. Either find some premade questions or make up your own. Another method would be to find a tutor. Either a friend who knows about the subject, a free tutor, or if Sal is willing to pay, a normal tutor. I suggest Sal read over the notes that he has. If Sal is missing notes, suggest to look in a book or on a video for them. Sal also has to keep in mind about whether he wants a job, and what the employers want. If Sal were to want a "normal" job, he would need a high school diploma, but he needs to put effort into doing better. These are my suggestions as to doing better. Believing in yourself won't do you much help, other than disappoint you in the long run.

Answer 2

Answer:

Dear Sal:

You that you can be what you want. You don't have to be a drop out. If you want you can be an engineer, a writer or a scientist. Did you you  know that Albert Einstein was considered a dork by his teachers. If you are bad at school is because you don't want to study. I believe you are more intelligent than most of your schoolmates.

You are free to choose but here there are many tips you can follow:

Communicate.

“Always keep an open line of communication with your parents, teachers and classmates,”

Talk to your parents, teachers or classmates about career realities.

Talk to your teachers about own career paths and the paths of others. They will help them see the differences between gaining a high school diploma/college degree and how many more doors open for the ones that study.

Don’t pressure yourself too much.

If you seem stressed by too many extracurriculars and expectations, encourage yourself to prioritize your education and cut back on things causing yourself stress.

Stay in touch with the school.

Teachers get to see students in the academic environment more than parents do, so if you’re concerned that you are considering dropping out, it might be a good idea to contact the teacher or principal to discuss your concerns and brainstorm solutions.

You can always take a break, rather than quitting.

New college students often find the transition from high school to be harder than expected. Remember that perhaps you can take fewer credits next semester, if you are feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes that can make all the difference.

Consider a different school.

Whether you are in high school or college, options exist for other schools that may be a better fit, whether online or on campus. Explore some of the alternatives that may be available, whether a charter or vocational high school, a community college, an online program or something else.

Consider a gap year.

Many programs exist for students looking to take that year between high school and college, or even during college, off from school. These include community service, cultural immersion or tutoring at-risk youth. Or students can simply take a year to travel or work. Families might consider working with students to create a starting and ending point for this gap year to address any issues the student may be wrestling with, such as financial difficulties or a desire to pursue a different field of study.

I hope that these tips make the difference

Attentively,
