Question
ummm I dont know if this is your thing or not but being a teacher i hoped you might be able to help...My friend has always gotten 90's for her average and now shes getting 60's and shes studing harder then ever... do you know what could do this and how she could fix it?

Answer
There are so many possibilities it is impossible to answer! Is she getting enough sleep?
Has the course material changed significantly?
Is your friend suddenly interested in boys?
I suspect that you would need someone with more wisdom than I have to answer your question effectively.
