Six reasons for bad grades

Students with character problems fall short of their potential because they resort to cheating on assignments, shy away from their duties and do not do their homework, for example, or teachers belittle them because of their character flaws. These students may need teachers who set strict ethical boundaries. They need to learn that their teachers and parents will not let them get away with anything and that people who deceive will most likely be caught and punished. Usually they will follow the rules if it is to their advantage to do so, but left to their own devices, they will try to cheat.
