Handbook on Poor School Performance

Abstract

From Preface: Poor performance of school children has always been a cause of concern. Some students' grasping power may be very poor, some others may speak very slowly and many others may be confused with signs and make careless mistakes. The teachers, parents and friends may know that the child is 'different’ but might not be able to tell why. Often parents and others see the child's school difficulties and problem behaviours as intentional acts and put the blame on schools. Little do they realize that child is suffering from learning disability - a problem related to brain development that causes hyper activity, impulsive behaviour and attention problems. The situation further worsens with their ignorance on this issue.
