There are many situations that affect academic success. Academic failure affects children’s normal social and psychological state. In this case, there may be a deterioration in their relationships with their families.
The biggest factor in academic success is the child’s intelligence capacity. This makes it easier for the child to comprehend and remember what is read, explained and the information conveyed. The level of intelligence is determined by birth characteristics and environmental conditions. It would be appropriate to look for the following reasons in children who fail in school despite having a certain intelligence capacity.
The biggest reason for failure in lessons is the situation that shows itself when children feel responsible and do not organize the necessary study hours after school. In this case, the teacher and the family have a very big task and they need to close the children’s deficiencies in this direction with appropriate and balanced approaches. Wrong attitudes reinforce this distress of children. In this case, the effect of teacher-family cooperation is great.
Equality of opportunity in education is an important issue. The general condition of the school the child attends, the characteristics of the teacher, the characteristics of the class, the quality of the education provided, and the opportunities provided in addition to this education directly affect the child’s academic success. Although there is no obvious problem in all these points, it would be appropriate to consider the special learning disability in the child’s academic failure. The detection of this situation and its treatment with education are important.
Other factors affecting academic success may include depression, substance abuse, adjustment disorders, family problems, psycho-social stress factors, and psychiatric conditions such as anxiety disorders. These conditions manifest themselves with additional symptoms in addition to academic failure. By eliminating this negative factor, academic failure is significantly improved.
It is important for children who are failing in school to be guided towards academic success without being compared to their peers and without damaging their self-confidence. When children have such problems, parents’ excessive indifference and excessive control will cause these situations to continue. What is important is for parents to spend time with their children, be aware of their situations and take the necessary precautions before these problems become completely consolidated in the child’s life.
Children’s problems with school are important. Problems with school can have serious consequences. No time should be wasted in addressing these consequences. After a certain age, the impact of school on children’s psychosocial development is very great. Any problem at school directly affects the child’s general mental health and psychosocial development.
Timely detection and treatment of school problems minimizes the child’s loss of functionality and damage to learning performance. The most basic indicator of school problems is a progressive decline in academic success despite a certain level of intelligence. A child not wanting to go to school, giving various excuses about school, complaining to the family with physical complaints, not wanting to study, recently moving away from school friends, having difficulty getting up in the morning to go to school, and giving ordinary excuses for not going to school are all indicators of some problems with school.
This situation may also be caused by some psychiatric disorders. The problem should be intervened without delay with a detailed psychiatric examination. The problem originating from the family, the school or the child himself should be tried to be solved.
