Statement of the Hypothesis

a.)

Having a failing grade is whats students are really afraid of. It's maybe because it affects the trust they have given for themselves especially when their parents expected a lot from them.
They would have thought that he/she failed his/her parents. In same instance, it also affects their life in a good way. They would have thought that because they have failing grades, they need to strive harder to get grades next time.

b.)

In order to prevent getting failing student should make their studies as their number one priority. Then students should set their goals in life which they really want to reach someday and make their family as an inspiration. With a goal and an inspiration, it will make them study harder and they will give their best to get higher grades.

c.)

Parents are very happy when they know that their children are doing well in school but but when their child gets a failing grade they would feel sad and disappointed. Parents would ask their child of they have done something wrong that makes their child be irresponsible in school.

d.)

The parents plays a very important role in the school life of the students. The love and support of a parent is one of the factor that would that would help the students. When a student see the efforts of their parents to make them a better person, they would have a thought to make their parents feel that they are getting back the sacrifice they've made. One of that is doing well in school.
