The ABC of personal growth
                                                
 Students Ratings understands  that  everyone  at  high
 school needs to get great grades to become successful
 and place that first job. Parents encourage students to
 study and work  hard  to  get  the  required results for
 that very reason.  At  the  end  of the day who doesn't
 want to become successful?

Why are parents so concerned? Is it a silly question? The bottom line is they used to make mistakes when they were young, and as they matured later in life and took on more responsibilities they soon understood that for those who could not be bothered to make the effort, eventually they would pay the price. 

Adults soon realize one gets out exactly what they put in from studies. Parents  teach values from what they have learned through previous experiences based on the values picked up from their parents, their own beliefs, and experiences from the people and daily occurences around them.

Parents ideally want their children to aim for peak performance, but it rarely happens, and then not all parents manage to get the message across, which could be for lack of communi-cation skills to help enable their offspring to maximize on the educational system and learning curve.

Some students make up their own mind to study and take advantage of all the resources at their disposal; that's great, but many lay back, or lack the ability to negotiate, or  panic from low self-esteem, or aren't sure how to write a covering letter when filling out an applicatation form, or they are unprepared for an interview.... maybe they need advice on how to put on a tie! 

The fact remains that the educational system mainly concentrates on teaching academic subjects, and not so much is dedicated to self development. That is up to individual characteristics. Another way to put it is self growth brings out leadership qualities and all impressive communication skills desirable to get to the top!
