8 Uplifting Quotes For Discouraged Students

My comments: In fact, there are 9, Einstein's included.

There are many reasons a student can lose focus in school.

It can be bad grades that will discourage make them to be inactive and to rebel rebellious. It can be the environment that can be stifling and suffocating for the students. It can be the fact that many of them don’t find it easy to see the meaning in their struggles in school.

My comments: Given that students are surrounded by so many distractions, such as video games, social media, etc, it takes greater effort to keep them in school nowadays. 

Some students excel under pressure, and there are those who crumble beneath it. It’s easy to praise the students who continuously work hard, but let’s try not to berate those who find it difficult to focus.

When students get tired of school, they find all means to take the shortcut. This is why numerours students end up copying their homework and plagiarizing their essays. This is why websites such as Bestessays.com thrive. They offer services that will ease the difficulties of student, making it tempting for them to sign up and buy customized papers. Technology has definitely made cheating a lot easier.

My comments: It's too bad!

It’s not just in the output that students slack off in school. It’s in their mentality that clearly shows their disinterest to learn and attend classes. When they start to not care about their grades, it must be a cause of concern for teachers.

My comments: However, when I was a student, I cared more about how much I'd learned than my grades.

Instead of lecturing these lost souls, it’s up to educators and mentors to find ways on how to lure them back into learning. It can be through constant motivation and pep talk. Sometimes, it can be a great story that will push them to work harder.

My comments: Great stories! Hmm, "The Carpenter" could be one of them.

For now, maybe these inspirational quotes on learning and hard work can do the trick.
