They're called problem children, system failures, unmotivated adolescents, underachievers, bored teens, challenging youths, and simply bad students.
In fact, they are temporary misfits. And that's a perfectly normal thing.
A mountain bike does not belong on the highway, and a speed boat not in the duck pond in the park.
Temporary misfits just haven't found the right environment yet. But it is there. It can be found.
As Einstein allegedly once said: “Everyone is a genius at something, but if you judge a fish by its
ability to climb a tree, it will spend its life believing it is stupid”. Let these kids find their element,
and you get an abundance of innovative thinking, original creativity and perseverance.
Looks like this doesn't work for you? Well, then
