Educ-ation with Terry, Hawkins Schools are in the business of success. An underlying goal of Most of the things that are done at schools is to help students be successful. The aim combines the short term gzoal of having stucIonte feel sucess eachday, the inter- mediate goal of having students know the success of passing each year-and the long range goal of helping students be successful in their life and careers. I personally hate to see a student fail. It seems such a waste of time and talent. This is particularly true when the failure was not really necessary and in my opinion Most failures are unnecessary. It usually is a matter of 'attitude. Attitude toward school, attitude toward education in general and attitude toward work, An interesting factor that I am aware of is found in! the situation where a . student, misses considerable scbool time due to illness, yet stili passes bis year. The secret; of course, is that the student concerned, recognizes that bis education is important and takes steps to catch up on the work he bas missed>. Often a good attitud ' coupled, with reasonably 1;ood work and study habits -allows people to overcome alI kinds of Sroblems. You dop't have to e brilliant to be successful in school. It certainly helps, but it's not a, requirement for success. A good steady effort whereby one uses his ability to the best advantage will produce good resuits. Indeed I have frequently witnessed situations where a student of lower ability bas been most successful in school and in if e. Tbey did it by a "neyer give uip" attitude. They did it by organizing their work in an efficient manner so each job required a minimum of time and effort and they used proven study babits which saved bours of study time. In other words, tbey wanted to bç successful and marsballed the resources and talents which they possessed to help them gain that goal. .There is a sayîng, "1success breeds success". It's true. Equally true is the opposite, "Failure breeds failure." 1 think we must reduce failure in any way we can. We don't do that by passing students who have actually failed, because that would encourage them to continue their poor efforts. We do it by encouragea- ment, support and showing interest. At times a student feels that bis teacher is mean because he demands that the work be done well. That's not meanness. That is necessary if the student is to succeed botb in the present and in tbe future. Success does not corne easily. It requires organization and hard work. Success is important. The success of our children is, the success of our family, our scbools and indeed our country.
