hey what's up I'm cancer Simmons the
academic guru and welcome to ask Kansas
this is my platform where I'm here to
help you on everything that's concerned
an academic success school success and
life success I'm here to answer your
questions so that you can succeed inside
and outside the classroom now in this
episode I want to address a question
from a young man by the name of nazrin
and he says this he says Kansas I cannot
focus in some subjects because the
teachers are really not good I have
asked my mom to change the school
because of these teachers but she didn't
allow me to
instead my mom went to the principal but
nothing changed when I try to learn
something their faces pop in my mind and
I cannot study at home or class
I totally need your help please well
Nazrin I want to give you some advice
and actually I'm gonna give you some
hardcore advice you're gonna have to
take responsibility yes you're going to
have to take responsibility because
here's why the teacher that you have
currently I'm pretty sure you didn't
have that teacher last year in probably
next year and the next years to come you
won't have the same teacher now this is
a hard pill to swallow but you have to
take responsibility for where you are
now the good the bad as well as the
changes and the adjustments so here's
how I want you to take responsibility
number one rather than your mom going to
see the teacher I want you to spend some
time I take responsibility to go see the
teacher yourself now I believe in the
three-strike rule so what I mean by this
is you go speak to your teacher for the
first time and you sit down with the
teacher at the office hours after school
and let them know your concern now when
you go speak to your teacher you don't
want to go on there with the whole blame
game you know teacher your wack teacher
you can't do this
teacher you're terrible no I want you to
take responsibility for where you are
have a conversation with the teacher
find out what you can do to better learn
the subject based on how the teacher is
you're communicating now if the class is
bad because of the other students in the
class maybe it's a disciplinary issue or
just a lot of confusion going on again
take responsibility and go speak to your
teacher now if you have to have this
conversation more than three times with
your teacher then I would advise you
again with your mom to go see the
administrators the principal's in your
school
but the reason responsibility is so
important because you mentioned here you
said when I'm studying their faces pop
up in my mind where they're at home or
in class so what I'm also hearing here
is that you're having a hard time
focusing you're having a hard time
disciplining yourself to focus on the
subjects at hand now again back to
responsibility as a young man you're
going to have to learn the information
now the teacher their job is of course
to teach and to to give tests and to
administer to make sure you understand
the information but it's your
responsibility to learn the information
even if that means getting a tutor even
if that means reading the textbook or
getting online even if that means
working other problems so you can
understand the information now we live
in an Information Age so whatever the
class you're in there are other
resources out there to help you master
that subject so again take
responsibility now when you study it at
home or in class you're going to have to
learn how to zoom in and focus one of
the number one reasons that students
have a hard time focusing is because we
don't know how to deal with distractions
now if you're at home
turn the television off turn the
cellphone off to turn the mobile devices
off and all of those other things that
can distract you make sure you build up
your focus muscle if you look through a
few few of the other videos that I've
created I talked a lot about focus I
talked about the importance of training
yourself to focus on one thing at a time
now I know that is challenging but it
can be developed it's just like a muscle
if you want strong biceps you have to do
the exercises that's going to help you
develop the strong biceps and the same
thing is going to be true where your
focus is concerned whether it's in class
or outside of class you can't allow
thoughts of distraction you can't allow
allow various things around you to
continue to distract you so if their
faces pop up maybe you're going to have
to associate their face with something
that's good or associate their face with
something that will keep you motivated
to do better because if you think about
it if you don't do so well in this class
you may end up in this class again and
then you will now be going through the
same challenges that you're going
through so Nazrin and to anybody else
that's watching this video I would say
take responsibility for where you are
use the three-strike rule go speak to
your teacher find out what you can do to
improve in the class find out what you
can do so that you can understand the
information find out what you can do to
be the best student now the challenges
that continue to go on have another
conversation with the teacher after
three strikes then take you and your mom
and you guys go see the principal and
find out what can be done but it's your
responsibility to succeed in the
classroom and it's your responsibility
to succeed out of the classroom
now do what needs to be done don't be in
the situation because I don't know you
know the situation as a whole but if you
aren't in a situation that you're being
abused immediately go take
responsibility and talk to somebody yes
don't be abused in the classroom speak
to somebody a counselor an administrator
and adviser
but you cannot cast blame on sin that
the teachers are really not that good
you've said that Seneca is more than one
teacher so rather than passing the blame
on bad teachers I need you to take
responsibility and look within to become
a develop and mature student now if
you're watching this video and this has
been helpful for you hey leave me a
comment or you believe nasan to come in
and give your advice on what should be
done that I don't know everything but
