We all get it - lots of it. Its boring, its time absorbing, it ruins some weekend plans. Late nights caused by overloading of homework? Coming to class being the only one without a book report? Well not after you read this. Follow these few simple rules, you can say hello to an honor roll report card, free time after school, and tons of plans with your friends over the weekend.
IN CLASS
Be prepared. If the school doesn't give out assignment pads, keep a notebook to keep track of all of your homework and projects. You need to know what things you need to turn in the next day, or and what things are long term projects. If your teacher doesn't write homework on the board, they will mention it during the class period. Just watch out for the phrase "...you have to..." because that's when they'll tell you your homework assignment. If your teacher writes homework on the baord, write it down first thing beacause otherwise you may forget.
Avoid doing last night's homework in class. If you are caught in the class working on homework you have to turn in, the teacher will deduct pionts from what you don't even have. If you are caught in other classes, the teacher who took it away may not even give it back to the teacher who assigned it, let alone you.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, *do not* even if yur homework if 50% of your grade, *do not* copy off of someone eles. If caught, you and your friend will get in big trouble. You and your friend - even if their homework was an A+ paper - will receive a zero.

Things You Should Probably Know...
Communicate With Your Teachers
They're there for you, even if it doesn't seem like it. I know everyone has that one teacher who teaches perfectly, you get them, but on the other hand, you have that one who doesn't make any sense, and may even be pretty boring. But, if you don't get something, nobody will know unless you tell them. I'm in 7th grade, and have learned this from being shy. As soon as I went to ask my teacher, though, they explained it to me one on one.You should ask to see them at lunch, or study hall and they will help you for sure. "We're preparing you for collage." They all say. That doesn't mean that thet won't help you along the way though.
To Stay On Track...
You need to know how to stay organized. Keep a planner to write all of your assignments in. Keep up with your homework and projects. Get a calendar to post when each assignment is due. Whenever you have a report that must be typed, get a USB stick to ave all of your work on so you can work on it at home and at school. Have a clean, quiet place to work at,like a desk, or the kitchen table as long as its quiet. You need to be able to look at your assignment pad, and find the worksheets or places in a book you have to read to be prepared for the next day. Just keep in mind that what you write can't take up a lot of room, but has to include all of the needed info.
The Night Before
Everything depends on the night before. Pick out your clothes, jackets, or whatever eles you need for school the next day. Make sure to pack your bag with all f your binders, notebooks, assignment pad, and of course your homework. If you do this, you're already done with everything you need to do in the morning except eating breakfast, and doing your hair. It's that simple. Now you wont be rushing to find that shirt you "knew was in the dryer.... or closet..... or was it in the dirty clothes pile?" in the morning. You will also have all of your assignments and you'll make the bus too.
