How can i convince my science teacher to raise my grade??

i walked home with a D, and as soon as i entered my house my dad punched me in the face and told me i should do better in school. but it wasn't my fault because i was absent for three days for religious/ethnical reasons. i've told my teacher this and he believed me but he wouldn't change my grade! any suggestions?How can i convince my science teacher to raise my grade??
If you know you're going to be absent, talk to the teacher before you leave so you can make arrangements for class assignments and homework. You can't expect the teacher just to ';give'; you a good grade because you were absent, even if it was for religious/ethical reasons.



If your absence was an emergency, and you didn't know before, then talk to the teacher when you get back and see if you can do any make-up work.



Teachers don't want any of their students to fail.



Also, it was wrong of your dad to punch you. You need to talk to your school counselor, immediately.

Your teacher will not change your grade just because......

Ask for makeup work, they usually will give it to you so you can raise your grade.
Have your Dad punch the science teacher in the face.
First off...your dad should not punch you. EVER! As for your teacher...ask for makeup or extra credit work. They may understand your reasons but if you know ahead of time your not gonna be in class tell the teacher and ask if you can turn it in when you get back? Try to work with the teacher they can be big help.
It is hard to believe that a three day absence would cause your grade to be a D unless you were doing D work anyways. In addition what effort did you make in making up eh missed work?



The real problems is for you to buckle downs and do your work which means no talking or calling out in class, volunteering answers, doing your homework conscientiously, taking notes in class and studying.
Even if you were absent for 3 days and couldn't complete your homework, you should have taken the notes before or you should have told your teacher before that about you absence and should talk to him about that you can give the test late. But now that you didn't show responsiblity, yOU can not blame your teacher! But if you didn't know about the test before then you should have asked about that ';is there any test or something coming'; from one of your friends on the phone or should have asked about it from your teacher through the mail. It depends on how responsible you are!!!!
Explain to your teacher about your troubles with your grade. Ask him for an appropriate way to be able to raise your grade. An assignment, extra credit, ect. Obviously he won't raise your grade if you whine i wasn't there i had to go to blah blah blah. Kindly ask for an extra assigment or report on something. i hope you get an A++++++++++++++!!!

P.S. sorry about the troubles with your dad
