Qualities of Good Student:
A Good Student is Able to Deal with
Failure
Failure
is one of the greatest tools in the learning process. Unfortunately, too many
people are simply overwhelmed by the feeling of failure rather than being able
to stand back and look at the lessons it can teach us. Having the tenacity to
stare down failure is an extraordinary skill.
Teach kids to look at failure in an
analytical way. What is the size and gravity of the failure?
What are its consequences? What can be learnt from the experience?
A Good Student Values Education
Finally,
if a child is to achieve success in education, they need to value education. In
life, we very rarely persist or strive in an endeavour if we don’t think it is
valuable. Studies show that children are more likely to embrace education and succeed
in homes where education is valued, where there are books and
where parents are engaged in learning.
