Here is my opinion after watching the video

Hello everybody,

People reach success and then fail because they are not used to work hard to keep going it through the whole life.

In my opinion, students fail because as Richard said they focus in other things when they are getting better rewards. As a result, they lose the main purpose of why they begin that journey.

According to my experience, I have seen loads of kids that start to get great grades in order to get rewards such as video games, candies, clothes, and so on. So in the long run, they will forget the point of being at school, studying everyday, or thinking about teachers, they will forget what made them think about teaching.

What do you think? I bet you have seen children like those,

Have a good day,

XOXO

  1. Hi,

    I absolutely agree with you when you said that people fail because they are not used to work hard. I could see this event in my work experience. Students are comformist or simply they don't want to work in class. We have to change this attitude in our students. How? It is a good question.
