Every Student Wants to be Successful
Two reasons that result in lack of success
1. Lagging Skills
2. Unresolved Problems
![Page 23: Longfields-Davison Heights Secondary School Grade 9 Program Planning For Next Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55175d175503463e368b45ba/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Lagging Skills
To build skills you need to practice
*Skills in school require practice in Reading, Writing, Homework and Organization
*How much time is spent at home practicing these skills
![Page 24: Longfields-Davison Heights Secondary School Grade 9 Program Planning For Next Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55175d175503463e368b45ba/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Unresolved Problems
• Regardless of skills unresolved problems can negate the ability to use skills
• Just think of Tiger Woods
• Unresolved problems can be very powerful
![Page 25: Longfields-Davison Heights Secondary School Grade 9 Program Planning For Next Year](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55175d175503463e368b45ba/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Skills and Practice• If boys practiced reading and writing as
much as they often play video games imagine their success at school
• If girls practiced reading and writing as much as the spend time on social media imagine their success at school
• Unresolved problem = addiction to bad habits??
