LOOK LIKE?

Underachievers come in many varieties, and although they are truly individual, they often fit into prototypical categories. In real life, the prototypes are not pure in any one child but are blended.

These children have not learned to work hard or persevere. They have not learned to cope with competition and avoid full school effort by making excuses.
