Grade 9 is the first of a two year program in MYP to prepare students for the e-Assessment. So it is similar to DP where the syllabus also spans two years. In order for students to have some time in the grade 10 year to revise two-years worth of work, the first year is necessarily more loaded. It is a fast year, with multiple units and lots of content and concepts to learn. This requires focus, discipline and a willingness to put in the effort.

At the moment it seems that Grade 9 is not there. We are five weeks into school and should already be settled into routines. Some constant review every night (5-10 minutes), completing tasks on time, being focused in class are all required for success.

Focus grows from discipline.Put in the hard work and motivation will increase.

It is time to dust of the silly behavior
