Abstract

Underachievement in both school and college creates much frustration, frustration that is probably more often exhibited by parents and teachers than by the low-achieving student. The fact that many such students seem unconcerned about their poor performance suggests that underachievement is symptomatic of the possession of some attitudes or values that make it unnecessary to strive for school success. Not infrequently, however, does low achievement result in serious consequences. Some underachievers must face school dismissal, or give up well-established, long-range career plans. Yet, faced with this problem, many, perhaps most, underachievers do not change their school performance, although they may express much concern for their dilemma.
