Study Tools for the K-12 Student Karen Brooks and Darlene Westinghouse

“ Often students have bad study skills. While there are many reasons for this lack in knowing how to negotiate learning, one of the key reasons can be failure they've had and their perspective about it. People experience failure routinely, yet whether small or large, most adults can move past disappointment and go forward. This is not always true of students. Failure in school can hinder their progress and can obscure even the best study skills put before them. Failure can present a hindrance to learning and can cause even the best students to adopt bad study skills or none at all. Adolescents and older teens might not realize that people often have to fail to succeed, and that information gained in failing will give them the tools to go forward.” -By Courtney Pollock http://scholarshipschools.blogspot.com/2009/04/learning-techniques-turn-bad-study.html
