Deeper Understanding

The more I expore my topic of underachievement, the more I am beginning to understand about it. I interviewed, not only some of my students, but my son who is 16. He is a classic underachiever. It was very interesting to get his point of view and I see that he is completely focused on here and now and does not look forward, at all! I believe that is one commonality of underachievers, they don't look ahead. I will keep searching for the bottom line for this group of students.
