Students are neglecting their studies.

I feel like, now a days parents does not care much about their kids studies, as they are busy with their work. Parents should find space for their kids studies also.

They should not take for granted their studies.The are some people want to go to school but unfortunately they have no money to afford it.Study well and be thankful for it.

Personally in so many ways this definately is the parents responsibility and actually something that they should be encouraging their children in especially in today's society. If they are ever expecting to have their children wanting to excel in something and get ahead this is really important. Especially the worse Society continues to get with jobs, etc. out there.

I agree. I guess it's also because the parents don't give guidance to their sons/daughters. The parents should always guide their children with their studies, remind them to be serious with it. But I do believe that there are still some who give importance to their education. I really admire those who take on scholarships because they strive hard just to get their education for free.

When a child is young yes a parent needs to push there child to do there home work but not over what that child can and can't do yet. As the child gets older and becomes there own person you need to let them be and learn for themselves to study to do there home work. You can't force a person to do something they don't want to do. Some times the more you push your kids into something the more they fight you and never do as you ask of them. Once in college they are on there own with studies and life.

Yeah I've been neglecting my studies since I got introduced to this whole 'Make money online' scheme. I need to catch up or else I'll flunk and that too good!!! What can my parents do about it?

hi arya, it is sad that most of them do this the students just love to play around and going to the mall to waste some money. my kids do that too, all they want is just fun. they won't think hard to do their homework or to study for the exam but i try to tell my kids that a success life can't be reached if we just playing around

at an early age, we keep reminding our only child that the only wealth we could really leave for her is her education. So, she has to make good on it. We are happy that she was a scholar since high school and up to now that she is taking up Medicine. Sometimes, parents should not spoil their children by giving them so much money. They have to let their child know the value of money and inculcate in their mind that it's good to have money from their own hard work.

I am proud to be parent of 2 studious daughters who both belongs to the Honor Roll. But still I am unhappy seeing students in my daughters' school who kept on coming late in school and without any books/notebooks on hand. I don't know how their parents feel about it. If the parents are not busy too with their own life, I don't think they will permit them to be like that. For me, I still regularly bring my children to school, ask them of their projects and assignment and we enjoy discussing what's happening in their school. Sometimes, the parents are busy earning money that they tend to forget to take a look on what's happening to their children, who they hang up with and where they spend their time. I hope they would realize that money is not as important as the future of their children. Their hardwork to earn money would be useless if their children do not value it.

I guess the freedom and the extra influences in modern society have encouraged some students to neglect their studies. now that it a very dangerous move anyway, because here in Australia, if you don't study and pass your final high school exams, It's no hope in a good career for you. That's how it goes here because all your assignments and exams you do at school during grade 12 counts to your final mark of the sate plus the major exams at the end of the year. Pretty much, you're competing against the whole state and there are heaps of people who study very hard, especially students from overseas. Most people in my school are pretty serious about their studies now, they weren't that much back then but now, everything counts to your rank and if you want a very good pay career, you need to get a high rank and get into the good colleges. So, I don't know why some kids want to slack off their studies

Ya. It's really true. even I too negelected my studies when I was in my teens. It's only because lack of knowledge how studies will help us. Pareents should tell their kids the importance of it . It's parents responsibility to make their kids study proper. Pampering kids is good but besides that they should support kids in such a way that they mark them as good example for every one.

I am also a student. I agree that most students now like to do things that are less useful and ignore the main thing they should do is learn to their future. they saw little of their studies. Perhaps Because also outside influences like friends,the media as we know facebook, movie, games and so on. They spent more time than learning to play and enjoy. Parents should be firm and keeping an eye on Their children and always ask questions and if you can sit with the children learn and see what they do.

That's precisely true, I think we have to avert their attention into studying by making each subjects more interesting. Parents, on the other hand should motivate their children and not to nag, because, the more they nag, the more that children lose their interest in studying.

Yes, I do agree with the above comments. Parents who are educated, make their children study strictly and who are uneducated, they let their children suffer. Now a days, students are wasting their time in social networking sites like Facebook , twitter etc. If parents stop their children using those sites or stop using computer whole day, then there may be any chances of students getting interest in studies. "No education, No money". Parents should understand a child and help them to lead their success.

Well, I do think that some students do neglect their studies. I wouldn't say that all students do, but I do think that quite a few of them actually do. Although I do feel that the students themselves should be help responsible, I do think that the parents should hold some responsibility as well. At least in some cases. I think that, at times, it can really depend on the student.

yes you are right. many of sudents only want to get their allowance. they dont want to study seriously. just few student that really study hard to get the best achievement. i think parents should take some step to make their kids wnt to study harder. they need support and i think who has to do that is their parents.

Are you talking about grade school or high school students? Or college students? I homeschooled my two so I didn't have to worry about that. College is another story - but again, mine have good study habits already and know much more than their peers about history, English language, and other subjects. My daughter is an avid reader of history; my son enjoys current events and politics.

I agree with you. We have over crowded schools, not enough teachers. I heard that here there are some teachers that have classrooms with 43 or more students. And I think that now with single parenting and homes with both parents working, too much has been left up to the teachers. Parents need to be more proactive in their kids lives. It does mean a sacrifice on the part of parents but your kids are worth it.

Hi,Mr.Arya,,,, I agree with your statements. Nowadays there are so many parents are so busy to take care of their children, especially in paying attention for their education progress. Some of the parents are being busy in working in a whole day without giving proportional times for their children in studying, either just asking or looking at their subjects they learn. Moreover, the others parents think that their children education are the teachers' responsibilities, so they have no need to help their children in studying. It is the common misunderstanding view. Parents who working in their whole days are not absolutely wrong cos they do it for their children too, but they also have to give their time for their children.

yes my frnd parents r saying we earn for our children only but they didnt care of them this is really worst condition
