Like other students, university students always want the simplest way and still achieve good grades. This is basically my high school experience. Teachers admire only the tasks that seem to have paid a lot of effort to the students. Regardless of what is wrong, I actually encourage them to give advice to lower grades. Also, I am honored that I have nothing to do with material learning in the classroom. If you have a graduation speech, I'm very thankful for the tissue box that gave me a score and passed.
Your student may not have realistic expectations for the university grades. Unfortunately, for high school experience, many students will make efforts to match the evaluation. They may feel they deserve high scores as they are working very hard. They may confuse their efforts with the quality of their work. In a survey conducted at the University of California Urbana, one third of the students studied thought that it was necessary to attend at least B level courses when attending all lectures. Approximately 40% of the students surveyed think that it is necessary to take at least a B level course if all reading is completed. About two-thirds of the students think hard work should be one element of the final grade. The gap between these student 's expectations and the reality of the university' s assessment made many students disappointed in their work.
First of all, it is said that students wish to obtain results and they seem to be addicted to them. This is usually true; personally, I taught high school students that they responded to lack of performance, and I can only describe it as a dizziness of existence. (Who is not B +, but who am I?) But more valuable (and not destructive) evaluation systems are adopted for more primary school and even junior high school to replace scores. In addition, elementary and junior high schools that do not change their habits often refer to local high schools, as high schools must accustom themselves to obtaining results irrespective of their devastating influence as high schools condemn the university.
Students need to be aware that high school grades are important. Grade strongly predicts future career. Efforts at school have strong incentives and students can improve adult achievement by improving high school grades. Although most universities are not selective - most non-selective universities (and most employers) are ignoring applicant's choice and will succeed more with university degree and higher income
Talking to the children is time: if you do not go well in high school you will not do well at college (or at work)
