My daughter earned exceptional grades in high school. Why is she struggling now in college?
College is very different from high school! Even students who have done exceptionally well in high school will find college work challenging. Students spend less time in class than they did in high school and more time in preparation. College professors demand much more than high school teachers, and the course material is covered at a faster pace. Good note-taking, reading and study habits are the essential skills that make adjusting to classes easier.
