Some elements to understand your child's school failure.
The notion of school failure accepts several definitions. A child who has difficulty understanding his school/college / high school courses may be considered unsuccessful in school.
More generally, repetitive repetition symbolizes this state of affairs. But the real definition of school failure is the exit from the education system without a diploma or qualification.
The premise of school failure is usually visible in elementary school. A child then accumulates impairments and fails to achieve a sufficient level of education for his age.
The causes of school failure are as complex as they are multiple. The child may suffer from a form of dyslexia (learning to read), dysorthography (a disorder of spelling), dyscalculia (failure of the first elements of calculation), dysgraphia (writing disorder) or dysphasia (the serious problem of expression) and the understanding of the spoken language).
In this case, only specialized professionals (doctors, psychologists ...) can detect and treat the problem of the child.
The student may also refuse the school system because he does not find his account (rightly or wrongly), or suffers from academic inhibition, marked by a lack of interest in any learning.
The phobia of the school would also be one of the causes of school failure. More generally, relationship problems in school with other students, or family problems, can lead to academic failure.
School failure affects the future of a child/youth, as well as their current and future social life. To fight against school failure, we must still know the cause.
Once identified, the degree of importance should be assessed. Do not hesitate to ask the help of professionals (doctors, psychologists, pedagogues, educational staff...), because it is rare that parents manage to overcome alone the problem of their child in school failure.
