There are two main classes of failing students, those who try and those who do not try. There is a certain class of student who does not take serious interest in class. They waste their time in shortening their pencils and arranging their books. Such habits are not good for non-serious students. A common cause of failure is a mistaken ambition for the boy on the part of parents. Parents want to make their son an engineer or a doctor but he wants to become a businessman. Such type of failure can be prevented by changing the subjects. Another top group of school boys is that who did well at school but fails to do work in college. They over confidence and consider that the study pattern of college is same as that of school. After completing their academic year,they are not in approach to pass the examination. Such students should change their attitude and habits. Poor health is another cause of the failure of many able students because they are unknowingly suffer in many fatal diseases. They are physically upset and cannot pay attention to their studies and fail. This difficulty can be overcome by proper medical treatment. Learning with earning is difficult task. Many able students fail due to some financial problem.Their parents cannot meet their study expenses. So they have to do job to meet their study expenses. They do not pay attention to their study and fail. Such deserving students should be awarded scholarships by the college authority. Many able students fail in college because of their unnecessary interest in the games and extra-curricular activities which are not important than their students. Their first duty is to study. If they are much interested in sports activities, then they should become professional player rather than students. There is another class of students who was come to college just wasting their time in fun and enjoyment. They belong to financially strong families. They are not serious in their studies and fail. Such rotten eggs should be thrown out of the college area. any comments/

This is very interesting? Boys tend to fail college more than girls? I suppose maybe it does have to do with the added pressure? Being a boy, they're suppose to be the breadwinner, or so society says, anyways. Maybe they feel like they need to take on heavy courseloads and then just get burned out whereas girls might not feel the same way? (this is a generalization, of course).

oh,you strongly impress me with your words.it is interesting .i have never thought about it.in my opinion,boys fail because they are rather lazy and lack interest in their study.they deserve it for they spend less time than girls on study.nobody is responsible for their failure .but you've got a point there.now i have a pity on the boys.they have to take on more responsibilities than girls.i believe all of us should take this into considerations when it comes to boy's failure in study and be nice to them.

maybe because they love to play around and did not care about their age. and they think they have money to spend so why did they have to college while they have much money

You're right. Parents should let their children take whatever course they wanna take. This doesn't mean letting the children do whatever they want. They should talk to their children about what they want to make it really clear for them on what path they should take.
