Thread: Why does anyone do poorly in school?

Because they don't care.

Up to a certain point, yeah. If they aren't trained for excellence from young, by the time they reach h.s., it's a lost cause IMO.

True that. But it does start in the home. But as far as the kids that need the extra help, that sometimes the parents cant give, it should come from the school but some of the teachers dont care enough to alert the parents that their is a problem anyway. So you have some parents that thinking the kid is just a lost cause and might give up for early or just encourage them to barely pass then teachers that don't care if the kid passes or fails.

you and a few others are the exception to the rule. not every child is self sufficient like you were. parental enrichment/encouragement is always a good thing.
