Working Women and Reason for Students' Failure

WORKING WOMEN

Women think and act alike in most cases regarding work and family. They think that work and family are equally important to invest their time and effort. To cite an example, the author of Harry Potter books-Joanne Kathleen Rowling-first thought of the book when she was on a train between London and Manchester and she had no money, no job and a baby daughter to raise. It took her five years to finish the book, but she loved writing and didn’t give up. There are many examples of working women sharing time at work and home. They have to work for long hours, and the most common cause is that they need the money. Once upon a time, a long time ago, women had to do the household chores and take care of their children and wait for their husbands to come back from work; there was a time when husbands were the breadwinners. As society ‘develops’-one of the main causes of working women was world war I- women were obliged to work, there was no choice because their husbands were in the middle of the fight. From that moment, women became heroines, apart from taking care of the house and children, they had to work. At the beginning, they have to work in factories, handle heavy machines, etc. Nowadays they can work from home in some cases, or at the office, kind of ‘frendlier’ jobs but for a very long time their salaries were very poor compared with men’s.  Later, as time went by, men were no longer the breadwinners, and women almost shared income in a fifty percent with men. Women had to learn how to cope with family and work. To sum up, working women is now an accepted concept, and they also have Internet blogs and sites were they can ask advice on how to deal with home and work and share experiences. 

REASONS OF STUDENTS´ FAILURE

                 One of the priorities of research in education is study the causes of students failure during their school work. To begin with, there are many reasons why students can fail and we seem to always want to find someone or something to blame.The first thing to be considered is the lack of motivation that is to say a student who does not realize why they need to succeed, will not succeed. It is a fact that some children need some kind of motivation to help them through school. If they do not have motivation, they fail. There is not doubt that peer relationship can cause changes in the students behaviour. A parent needs to monitor their child´s friends all the way through primary and secondary school as well. We believe that if students are not at school, they cannot learn that is to say attendance is another important reason to consider about. In addition many of the students who attend schools, they do not like it, they do not practice their homework or study due to cheating or copying. They are caught cheating by their teachers many times. Another reason is their parent involvement, if parents are aware of the school and teacher expectations and can enforce hard and solid work habits at home, the students will be successful. With parent support students have more opportunities to succeed.

In addition organization is essential to order daily activities at school. Students who have not an agenda or have a messy schoolbag are signs that students are not active in their education. In conclusion  the causes of students failure have different reasons and it becomes necessary to determine the factors of these reasons  to find out the solutions to improve the students school life and their problems.
