Problems in school
31 January 2013
Dear students,
Are you or do you know a student that is struggling to do better in school with; understanding the material, doing homework, staying on task, and wanting to succeed? Hear are a few tips that I have observed and have helped many students around me. Teachers, parents, and peers may motivate you to do better in school, but in the end it is your choice to make. They will not be around to help you with everything, every step of the way. Motivation to do better in school, like many other things, has to come from a desire within you. The two main issues students struggle with are that they are afraid their work may not be good enough and end up over stressing themselves, then there is the fear of being judged by the people they hang out with and those people may look at them differently. These insecurities for some can lead to a student giving up or not trying their best on that assignment and losing their motivation. Once a student gives up, that usually leads to the failure of the class that they have given up in and can later lead to even worse outcomes in the future. They may feel inadequate with those as well due to insecurities and low self esteem. As a result, the student may be put on academic probation or given a credit recovery class to meet the graduating needs. If a student struggles to get out of academic probation it may have a negative effect on the classes he/she is doing well in. If they are trying hard to work on bringing that falling grade back to a passable grade, it means spending less time on work from other classes which causes them to fall even more behind, and in turn causes stress. This situation may cause a domino effect on all of their grades to plummet downward; this may lead to simply giving up on school in general. This could possibly creative negative situations such as expulsion from school; not meeting the credentials needed to be in school, and may fail to graduate. The strategies that you
