41.School failure is a process in which a student slips farther and farther behind his peers(同齡人)and gradually disconnects from the educational system. The end result of school failure is leaving school before graduation. Many cases of school failure happen among students who have the ability and intelligence to succeed but are not able or willing to apply these abilities in the school setting. People who fail in school may feel "stupid", but emotional or mental health problems and "hidden" learning disorders, not low intelligence, often are the root causes of their inability to meet the standards of a school. The following are some factors that can lead to school failure. Depression is one of the most common causes of school difficulties. It is a condition that makes people trapped in low spirits for long periods of time, have less energy, and lose interest in studies that normally give them pleasure. Anxiety is a feeling of excessive worry about a possible danger or an uncomfortable situation that is intense enough to interfere with(妨礙)a person's ability to concentrate and focus. Students also may bring their problems at home to school with them. If a student's family is experiencing violence, unemployment, or any other upsetting situation, it can be difficult for him to concentrate on schoolwork. Many students who are having family problems might have trouble controlling their anger and frustration at school, and they may end up in trouble because of their behavior. Learning disorders are conditions that interfere with gaining specific academic skills, such as reading or writing. Learning disorders can damage a person's ability to process or remember information. Students at risk of school failure need to be identified as early as possible in their school careers if they are to receive the help they need. This task usually falls to the teachers and parents. Parents can help by taking a genuine interest in their children's school life and attending school events. They should take seriously sudden changes in their children's behavior, sleeping, or eating. Besides, they should help their child identify what he or she is bad at or good at. On the other hand, there are a lot of things teachers can do to help those students who fail in school. For example, they can develop learning plans that support the students' strengths, carry out evaluations about their possible learning disabilities, support their learning by teaching them how to study, and encourage them to participate in school activities, such as sports, plays, or clubs, so that they feel they are a part of the school.
