[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference between the kids who fail out and the kids who do fine in their grades is mainly based on whether you show up for class, turn in your work, and study for the tests.  Pretty much anyone who got into your school can do fine there, but what makes the difference between good and bad grades is mostly whether you have the self discipline required to do these simple things.  My DS was amazed how many people simply did not manage to turn in a paper on time or just didn't even make a real effort in the classes and, as a result, made bad grades.[/quote]

I failed out of my college. I’d never tried harder in my life at school. I just couldn’t do it. [/quote]

Maybe you had mental health challenges or an undiagnosed LD/ADHD? I don't mean this to be rude. Some kids do very well in school with undiagnosed learning challenges until the demands increase to a certain level. It can have nothing to do with their intelligence, in general. [/quote]

Most kids fail out of college, nationally speaking. [/quote]
