It may be perceived by trainees as a smooth path to the top, but it really is a step-by-step approach which requires that task to be done well at each level.

INTRODUCTION America has come to realize that its national educational system is not reaching enough of its students. Basic skills at the primary levels of school have decreased, as have the standard test scores of high school graduates. In addition, there are 23 million illiterate adults (those whose basic skills are below fifth grade level) and another 35 million semi-literate adults (those whose basic skills are below eighth grade level). Certainly, the educational system alone is not to blame for this problem. Parents and communities must bear some of the responsibility. In reality, poor school achievement has many causes. Family instability can disrupt the support system children need to concentrate on their studies effectively. Single parents are often too busy with routine tasks to deal adequately with their children’s school responsibilities. Students frequently change schools and lose the continuity essential for successful achievement. Many students have jobs after school and feel overwhelmed by required homework. Some teachers give routine, run-of-the-mill assignments, scarcely exciting or stimulating creative thinking. Many educators also neglect to teach students “how to study.” Poor study habits are a major cause...
