Six reasons for bad grades

Students who have low scores on the tidiness scale tend to be disorganized. They may fare poorly in school because some teachers may devalue them for carelessness, inattention to detail, and sloppiness.

Further, these students often have „too many construction sites“ open to conscientiously complete even one of them. Thus, they may start a new activity before completing the current one. Some of them need to learn to stay focused on a particular task and complete one job before starting the next.

These students do best with unstructured tasks and in a loosely organized environment, or with tasks that have flexible rules.
