Why most students fail in school
As a teacher I have come to discover that most children when they enter school feels they have arrived and refused to sit down and study their books, the intelligent one's feel they can do it much better even without reading while some pride kills their intellectuals and they end up failing.
Some parents will pray for their children to have admission into the tertiary institution, you will see the child being so humble, obedience and even so godly at this point in time when he or she is writing exams and waiting for University admission. God answers the prayer and gives the child admission and within a twinkle of the eye the child turns to something else and when you ask him or her why, you will hear " I'm in school, "is the trending fashion".
Things the child disperse so badly now became part and particle of her daily life and boom four years course became 6 years course and without much care he or she become a drop out in school and the parents who sacrifice their all for the child feel disappointed and unfulfilled just because the child failed them.
the story
There is this godly girl I loved so very much and I have been seeing her move right from childhood to adulthood, I so loved her so much and after her secondary school education, I started praying for her unknown to her because I wanted her to start school, God so kind, she was offered admission in the university to study sociology, I was so happy for her because God answered our prayers. She started year one first semester very well, during her second semester things started changing, she no longer respects, and as an observer I was still observing and seeing this change in her I felt so bad.
She started keeping late night, change her dressing pattern, change her hair style, no longer attend church services, became a very pride follow in life and anytime anyone try correcting her, she became so angry and will look down on the person.
Life became birth of roses for her and I felt so bad for her because at the end she spent 6 years studying a 4 years course and before she realized it, it was late for her and till tomorrow she is now living a depressed life.
Entering into higher institution shouldn't change who you can, if shouldn't even tamper with your lifestyle because one day, you will leave the school system and changing for the school system will cause you more harm than good.
Don't even change who you are just because you feel you have arrived.
Instead of sitting down to study, they prefer moving around to learn about dresses, new trend in the world and make unneccessary friends that do not add value to their lives rather such friends sip away their value and make them valueless.
A good student who knows why he or she is in school should have the ability to say no to things that will cause failure for him or her. He should be able to sit down learn, unlearn and relearn things again.
