Building Productive Attitude In Students

Recently a leading school head teacher was speaking to me about students' attitudes, within the ambience of school - where she has been serving for over two decades - within the school itself [over three decades in active practice].

Apparently, many school owners and leaders/teachers are in same shoes - they have given up on their students! Many students have become dried logs of wood that cannot be bent over - in terms of general character. Therefore, school owners, leaders and teachers to a large extent sort of possess the consolation with the following undertone; after all, "the students only have limited number of years to spend in the school till their session is finally over....."
