Why Do Some Students Fail And Others Succeed?

 Why do some students fail and others succeed?

Introduction.

As a teacher, I get to see a lot of students. Some are doing well and others are floundering. Why is that?

In this article I will explain why some students fail while others succeed.

Students who don't succeed in college usually fall into one of two categories: those who simply don't try hard enough and those who are genuinely interested in learning but aren't prepared for the rigors of school. 

These groups both fail because they approach the task of succeeding in school as if it were just a given right. But succeeding in school takes more than just showing up for class. 

It takes effort and discipline. Press Tab to write more...

The student must take responsibility for his or her education: you cannot expect your teachers to do it all for you, nor can you rely on your parents or anyone else to do it for you (although they may help).

 Instead, realize that what is valuable about going to college is not simply the degree itself but rather what that degree symbolizes: self-sufficiency, independence and an ability to work hard at whatever life throws at you.

A lot of students don't know how to study, and so they go about it all wrong. They don't see that getting good grades is the result of a choice you make and then follow through on with consistent effort that you invest into your education.

It's true that some students are just more gifted than others, but I would argue that even those with strong academic talent can be held back by a lack of discipline and dedication.

The truth is, if you're not doing well in school right now, it's because you're choosing to do poorly. It's as simple as that. And if you want your grades to improve, it's really up to you to make the decision and take action by studying smarter rather than harder.

Students have to have some clear idea of what they want from college and how to go about getting it, otherwise they are just wasting time and money taking classes that are meaningless to them.

When you start a new job, it's not enough for the boss to tell you "Here's your desk. Here's the phone number for ordering pizza. 

Here's your paycheck." You need more information than that in order to do a good job on the job. In fact, if your employer doesn't give you detailed instructions about how he wants his business run—or worse yet, if he expects you not only to figure out how things work but also make improvements yourself—that is grounds for dismissal! 

The same holds true with college courses: Students need guidance on their path through higher education in order that they can achieve their academic goals and be successful in their studies (and beyond).

Students can succeed if they work hard instead of wasting their time

To be successful in college, students must work hard to achieve their goals. They should be disciplined and focused on what they want from the course of study they have chosen.

Conclusion.

The takeaway here is that if you want to succeed in school, then you have to work hard. That means studying every day and sticking with it even when it gets tough. 

You also need to make sure that your expectations are realistic and achievable so that they don't lead to disappointment or frustration later on down the road. 

If you're struggling right now with grades or motivation levels, then maybe it's time for some fresh perspective on what success looks like for each person individually!
