Students check out when work feels too hard, so they always fail, or pointless. Feeling stupid is the fastest way to make a student give up.
What you can do at home
- Meet them at their real level so they get wins instead of constant failure.
- Make it relevant. Connect learning to things they actually care about.
- Use small goals and streaks. Visible progress rebuilds motivation.
- Praise effort and strategy, not just being smart.
