10、ation here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class,Harrisonsays nobody does much on the first day because it s still add-drop,which means students are changing from class to class.Jenny knows theprofessor is really good.But Harrison warns her that the professor isgood,only if st
11、udents are hand-workers,for he expects a lot.After class,Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went overher head,and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said isexplained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes,he says“on problem”,forthey don t have class

17、ities.Top students allow no intrusions onstudy time.Once the books are open or the computer is turned on,phone calls go unanswered,TV shows unwatched,snacks ignored.Studyis business,and business comes before recreation.Also,good students can study anywhere and everywhere.Claudia Hill,anArizona State

19、h on the final examination.Moreover,top students schedule their time well.Study times are strictly amatter of personal preference.Some work late at night when the houseis quiet.Others awake early.Still others study as soon as they come homefrom school when the work is fresh in their minds.All agreed
20、,however,on the need for consistency.A student says,MWhatever I was doing,Imaintained a certain period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they knowhoe to read,According to a book entitled Getting Straight A s,the secretof good reading is to be

46、re are a lot of things in our educational system that I dont agree with.It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests,which focusonly on academic performance but neglect students abilities andinterests in other areas.I think there re a lot of people who are veryintelligent,but haven t
47、 had the opportunities they could1 ve had,hadthey been educated in a broader-minded educational systems.I feel thata lot of courses that students are focused to take in high school are tooacademic,and,as a result,many kids lost their interest in learning.Educators have failed to recognize various ki
48、nds of intelligence.Theyoften exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded aspossible.I think being well-rounded isn t really possible.And as aconsequence some students who are believed to be intelligent can*t getinto good colleges if they,for example,haven t scored well on the mathsect
49、ion,even if they ate brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students areseparated from the rest of the school.Some kids are kept in a separateclass id their grades are lower then others.And they ve very aware oftheir social position,you know.I think it causes the
50、m to act in a way thatis not really positive.They re just acting in a way that they are expectedto act.Often their grades go from bad to worse.And that s pretty sad tome.I think that many of the kids in those classed are intelligent,butnever actually realize their potential because of the way they a
