Edit: Nevermind. I was being an **** before I payed attention. I thought you were complaining because you thought were a "mastah!" at English. Sorry...I'm the same with math. You're doing better than me, though. I dropped out because I couldn't stand that much human contact/idiocy.
You mean, skip the study time and not do homework because of the irresistable urge to slack off? Then somehow miraculously pass the class?
No.

No I mean, went through the same phase as me, this year I actually revised etc, and passed it
You mean whereas before you were on your bike, now you are on the internet.
If i were you, i would stop complaining and get some studying done. It's the only way
That's following the typical "education is a gateway to work" attitude, natch.
But don't worry, I wasn't a star in my native language either! Just keep studying and be better in other things. You won't go being an English teacher then anyway. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Err...
Maybe you should start off with correction that sentence.
That has to be the stupidest saying i've ever heard. Ever.
I just don't get math at all, it makes me feel like a moron
I mean come on. English was my only subject where there was never a 'right' answer and a 'wrong' answer. That's why I love math. 25 is either the right answer or the wrong answer. There is no gray! With english, you can say one thing and it be correct, and then say another thing and it be EVEN MORE correct. WTH!
Since when has the answer to a math problem been right when the answer was 25, and EVEN MORE right when the answer was 27. WTH! OMG H4X!!!1111oneoneone
As for the revision thing, i've found over the years i've been in school (i'm in last year of high-school), that revision doesn't help me that much. My brain seems to work very direclty. If i don't learn it the first time i hear it, chances are i won't learn it no matter how much i go over and over something. I still do pretty good in school (i came second in the sats in the whole year group. I am teh l33t), but revision doesn't seem to help me. And my main weakness is math. Because i really don't see how knowing several billion methods of working out arcs, areas, perimiters etc is actually going to help me in day to day life.
It may seem like that, but that is nothing like how they are marked.
It is very difficult to mark an enlish exam, because if they guy makes a statement you don't agree with, you have to go against your feelings and give them the marks for backing up

I coined it on the spot, so bite your filthy tongue, and get some damn IQ points.
Just study if you really don't understand the stuff, and read alot, it really helps your vocabulary and understanding of how writing works.

Not sure what math you're in, but there are some later maths and applied maths that are a lot like your description of english. Although, most are only that way because it'd take a very long time to get the exact answer, or they're irrational numbers or something.
Oh, and for those thousands and thousands of useless math equations: take a physics, chemistry or other applied mathematics course...you'll see just how useful they can be. If not to invent or learn something, to make you understand the concepts behind the math.
Your math teacher should at least be giving you some real world applications of the math. Like: "Many natural occurances follow a logarithmic structure, such as the electromagnetic spectrum." While things like area or perimeter aren't quite as in depth because their use is inherent in the problems that have to accompany them.
If you want to work on your grade, try taking a profound interest in what you're trying to do. Though that can be very hard if you find the subject extremely boring.
Irrational numbers are still precise. 9 + 4i is a definite answer. You can't have another number with the same value as 9 + 4i. Math is precise.. to the teeth.
I'm not saying the answers are always easy to find, but the answers are always black or white. Either the answer exists or it doesn't. Black or white. Either the answer is right or it is wrong. Black or white.
If that fails actually develop a good relationship with the teacher, ask what you can do to improve, show interest in the subject and you'll pass on the relationship alone.
Sometimes a fragment makes more sense, but never shorten words, or use grammar incorrectly.
That way you don't "practice wrong," since everyone knows spoken English rarely resembles what the proper written form is.
Math, I suck at. Something about the numbers just messes with my head, regardless of how I try. English, I usually can ace. I've only had one 'bad' teacher (last semester in fact)... in a Creative Writing class. I ended up going off and, while fitting the rules of the assignment, bringing out some really interesting literature. A story about absolutely nothing, just letting my mind wander. A number of compelling poems that people asked me to print out copies that they could take home. And an act of a play that had people laughing and feeling along with the roles presented.
Unfortunately, I didn't realize that 'Creative Writing' wasn't actually intended to be creative. :b I managed to score a C after a bit of badgering, which shattered my 3.96 GPA. Aggravating, because that was enough to kick me off the honor roll. :b

Preferably, you try to get a good relationship with the teacher FIRST, THEN you bribe. Doesn't typically work the other way around I've found.
Also, ever notice that when you shoot someone and ask questions later, it never quite works out the way you want to? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
This from you?
Go to class, slacker!
