SUCCESSFUL  & UNSUCCESSFUL  STUDENTS

Some students just naturally are so gifted and are able to use it to their advantage that they are just so academically inclined.  They often do hit a subject later on in their studies that is difficult for them.  Then some students have the ability to do very well but don't put in the effort    to make that higher grade and they could do so much better.  They get by with great grades but they could have excellent grades.  You have the students that try, try so hard and it seems like everything is such a struggle and you don't want them to give up.  You keep helping them, encouraging them, praising them, and saying please make it easier for them.  They will get it, they will forget it, you will reteach it, one day they may make a super grade on a paper and you will praise them up and down.  Then you have the students who just don't care.  Would rather say,  "I don't understand it or I wasn't taught it," that is their motto.  They just want to have their hand held and have someone basically do the work with them or for them.  They aren't motivated and they don't care they basically are your worst enemies.  You can love them, praise them, work with them for hours but the second you leave them everything is taken away and you probably won't receive much work from them afterwards.   That is the picture of a regular classroom.
