Description
With Doing Poorly on Purpose, veteran educator James R. Delisle dispels the negative associations and stereotypes connected to underachievement. By focusing on smart kids who get poor gradesānot because theyāre unable to do better in school but because they donāt want toāDelisle presents a snapshot of underachievement that may look far different from what you envision it to be.
There is no such thing as a āclassic underachiever.ā Students (and their reasons for underachieving) are influenced by a wide range of factors, including self-image, self-concept, social-emotional relationships, and the amount of dignity teachers afford their students.
Helping āsmartā students achieve when they donāt want to is not an easy task, but you can reengage and inspire students using Delisleās insights and practical advice on these topics:
Autonomy
Access
Advocacy
Alternatives
Aspirations
Approachable Educators
Smart, underachieving students need the reassurance that they are capable, valuable, and worth listening to despite their low academic performance. If these studentsāwho are otherwise academically capableādonāt feel they are getting respect from those in charge of their learning, then the desire to conform and achieve is minimized.
In a word, they want dignity. Donāt we all?
