I love clueless moms.
I feel for you OP . When I was in high school , I was once grounded for getting a A- on a test . Parents can be crazy sometimes, hopefully it will get better.
You have a strict mother if she wants you to get straight As AND go to bed at 7pm
What I suggest is that, right when you get home from school, start doing your homework. Don't turn on any devices such as tv, mp3 player, etc. Then, if someone older than you, preferably your mom, is at home with you, do homework near them. For instance, if your mom is preparing dinner, sit in the kitchen. Do your homework without screwing around. If you really can't do homework on a consistent basis, maybe your mom will realize that you can't have both a 7 pm bed time and straight As. If you can do it, maybe she has a point and you'll at least understand where she's coming from.
Where does having a life fit into this schedule? I get your point but it sounds like the mother is a can't see passed her nose personality and expecting perfection. In the real world no one always gets 10 hours of sleep every night. This expectation is begging for rebellion. I tried to give my mom everything she wanted multiple times as each time she would always ask for more. I learned the only person I could satisfy was myself and that was setting my own expectations to the highest of my being. Not someone else expectations.
#53 that's a good point.
She's just trying to help you, do what she thinks will make you successful in the end. I wish I had a mother like that even if she's a little overbearing. Maybe if you have a study hall/lunch time you can work a little to make up for the time you lost?
I wish I could get 10 hours of sleep, between football, lacrosse and AP classes I'm lucky to get 5.
Why can't you just fake going to bed and finish your homework then? Unless she sits beside your bed until she's sure you are asleep...

Why does she think you need to be up at 5?
Tell her she can get one or the other from you. Straight A's or straight Z's, not both.
