With Doing Poorly on Purpose, veteran educator James R. Delisle
dispels the negative associations and stereotypes connected to
underachievement. By focusing on smart kids who get poor grades not
because they're unable to do better in school but because they
don't want to Delisle presents a snapshot of underachievement that
may look far different from what you envision it to be. There is no
such thing as a ""classic underachiever."" Students (and their
reasons for underachieving) are influenced by a wide range of
factors, including self-image, self-concept, social-emotional
relationships, and the amount of dignity teachers afford their
students. Helping ""smart"" students achieve when they don't want
to is not an easy task, but you can reengage and inspire students
using Delisle's insights and practical advice on these topics:
Autonomy. Access. Advocacy. Alternatives. Aspirations. Approachable
Educators. Smart, underachieving students need the reassurance that
they are capable, valuable, and worth listening to despite their
low academic performance. If these students who are otherwise
academically capable don't feel they are getting respect from those
in charge of their learning, then the desire to conform and achieve
is minimized. In a word, they want dignity. Don't we all? This book
is a joint publication of ASCD and Free Spirit Publishing.
