Boys at Aitchison do particularly well and university admission
success is testimony to this fact. As a selective school there is no
surprise here. There are, however, always some boys who struggle
at times or who for various reasons underperform. Our general motto
is: Whenever possible a boy at Aitchison should finish at Aitchison.
Obviously, a boy’s behavior and commitment must come up to
standard. Otherwise, we should direct our efforts to make sure a boy
eventually succeeds.
Teachers carry great responsibility for students’ results. However,
we do not talk enough about the obligations of students to play their
part. Absence from school, poor study habits, bad decisionmaking,
and ‘tuning out’ are deficiencies that successful students avoid.
Thus, a great deal of responsibility rests on the shoulders of students.
