APATHY ESSAY

“Many students in schools show a lack of interest and


motivation in their studies. Discuss the reasons why they are
academically uninterested.”

In every school, while there are hardworking students, there are


also lazy students who are not interested in anything about school.
They just come to school, sit at the back of the class, talk and
disturb the others. There may be some reasons for such behavior
such as family, peer influence and financial problems.

The most common factor which influences the academic


performance of students is family. If the parents are interested in
how their child is doing at school, the student will be more
interested in his lessons too. Educated parents generally show more
interest in the academic performance of their children; however,
this should be a practice common to all families not only to the
educated ones. When the parents are not interested in the success
or failure of their children, the child will not care about school or
lessons, and will perform poorly.

In schools, the best-known students are the ones who do


everything except for studying. They seem the coolest students at
school and everybody admires their reputation. When the parents
fail to show any interest in their children, they are likely to become
one of those students who look cool but display no academic
achievement. Because in these ages teenagers do not understand
the importance of useful things, they do trivial things which seem
really important among their peer group. Their only aim is to be well
known at school and have a group. Studying lessons, then, is not
one of the ways to become popular at school.

The most important factor for the lack of interest on part of a


student is the financial situation of his family. There are some
students, for example, who think even if they pass the university
exam, their families will not be able to find the money needed for
their education. Apart from this, some students have to work after
school; as a result, they cannot concentrate on their studies. When
the difficulty of the lessons is added to this list, school becomes a
nightmare for these students.

It is possible to rescue these underachieving and academically


uninterested students from this fate. The parents and the students
themselves may be warned, or the government can give financial
aid to these students. Maybe it is very difficult to completely solve
this problem of student apathy and lack of motivation, but we can
at least ameliorate it.
