Laura~Rosa Cebollero Hornedo(Edison) Is Average enough?

From personal experience I have witness how little incentive teachers and councilors give to the student to excel and better themselves in school. All of this unattended students that may have potential to become the future leaders of tomorrow are being hurt academically and socially since if they graduate they will have very little motivation to excel or to participate in extracurricular activities in college. This type of behavior from the school staff, parents, and the students should not be taken lightly and a certain measure should be appointed to resolve this issue of under academic struggling students who in their professional careers will struggle. 

I have seen the difference in the quality of the schools from PR to the US. In my experience my teacher always said “ you can do better” , in schools over here in the US most of the teachers where satisfy by the students doing average. What kind of example are they given the students on how much effort should be put into something that will grand you all of the academic satisfaction expected from a professional career? 

The lack of motivation that upcoming high school students show in college is the result of years of under appreciation and learning how to conform with the average and accept that they can’t do better in their academics. The social impact from this lack of motivation has created masses of underachieved, ignorant students that we consider in today’s society the average.
