Causes of Student Failure Failure is always an unpleasant word. Failure in student’s life is defined as subpar achievement of his/her physical or literary capabilities.When students do not study for their final exam or practice his/her sports, they expect that they wouldnot just pass or win.However, it is actually failure. Although students study hard, they could not pass. On the other hand, if you do not study and do not pass, then you are a failure. On the contrary, the failure is also important for all students because it givesthem priceless lessons to make better lives. What are the reasons of the student academic failure? The root causes of student academic failure are problems within the family, learning disabilities, and distractions from fashion and social trends. The first root causes of student academic failure are typically problems within the student’s family.A large portion of all students have or have had an upsetting experience with their family members, such as a quarrel, violence, or theirparents’ divorce. It is the one of the serious negative factors of student academic failure.For example, when a student’s parents divorce, he/she gets so much stress. A study conducted by MDRC, a non partisan social policy research and demonstration organization, indicates that students of single or divorced parents are more likely to drop out of school on average compared to those with both parents. It sure proves that those students with two parents have an advantage living.
The second reason for student academic failure is learning disabilities. Types of learning disabilities include reading disability (Dyslexia), mathematics disability (Dyscalculia) and writing disability (Dysgraphia). Students with learningdisabilities are usually inattentive and unfocused because they try to study hard, but theyimmediately get stressed and exhausted. For example, my friend who was a poor student lived in Korea. She
