21st century kids are very smart in handling
most sophisticated electronic gadgets but
always fail to complete their class work and
home work on time. The student’s qualities of
incompleteness gradually lead him to become a
poor academic performer.

An academically weak child is the product of the
system and society which consists of parents,
teachers, school, education system and parenting.
A child becomes weak in study undoubtedly due
to parenting and schooling system. We fail to
nurture the nature of the child right from his
formation age. We fail to create child’s interest in
study. We fail to create hunger and passion for
study. We fail to observe and monitor our children.
We fail to provide the child ample opportunities to
flourish in right direction, at right age and at right
time.

Weak student in classroom
 Weak student is not product of one day. It
takes time to become a good academic
performer and poor academic performer.
We fail to develop right attitude and proper
manner since childhood. Child starts framing
wrong habit i.e. does not sit 1 and ½ hour for
study regularly.

Weak student in classroom
 Pending works become mountain for students
and gradually s/he develops habit of delaying,
telling lie etc. We find a common nature
among weak students that is, either they are
reluctant to complete all the academic tasks
or they start giving excuses for doing things
rather thinking for completing a task.

 Parent, teacher and other stakeholder don’t
consider over the problem of low academic
performance of a child rather we just develop
habit of complaining and excusing one or
more reasons for poor academic
performance. An academically weak student
can be changed into good academic
performer if parent and teacher work as active
partner.

 Minute observation of weak students and
proper monitoring of academically weak
student can bring magical result. We need
to work on weak student. Academically
weak child is not the result of his physical
and mental deficiency but the poor
parental and system failure.

 Weak student can be brought into main stream if we
start working on child’s emotional well being. It is not
the problem of child. The day teacher starts
developing interest and passion in a child for study,
and the day child starts developing inquisitiveness
and interest for study, the day becomes great
learning day for a weak student. Slowly, gradually
and horizontally weak student starts performing
good in study.

--
Educator and parent must have faith in child’s
capability and capacity. We need to sit, we need
to talk and we need to play with weak students
to know their potentiality. We need to nurture the
nature of academically weak learners for
exploring their inherent capacity. Every child is
unique and we need to nurture his/her
uniqueness for developing better academic
understanding. We can take the child to another
level by creating interest for study and self
