| Description: |
This article discusses identifying and overcoming patterns of underachievement. According to the article, underachievement is a pervasive national problem that results in a tremendous waste of human potential, even among our most able students. Treating all underachievers alike just doesn't work. Specific patterns of underachievement need to be differentially identified and dealt with differently as soon as a problem becomes apparent. |
