Xiphico secondary school is situated in a high crime area. The grade 12 results at the
school are very low and hence the school is classified as dysfunctional. In nearly
every classroom there are a handful of learners who simply refuse to do the work.
They’ll literally the assignment and maybe even nod their heads but when the rubber
hits the road, they don’t hand anything in at its best. They submit a couple of
sentences instead of the essay you asked. In most instances teachers become so
defensive that the blame is laid squarely on the learners. They often say the learners
are unruly, Disrespectful and do not care about their future. Instead of playing the
blame game, teachers must thoroughly investigate the root cause of these learner’s
refusal to do their work. Understanding the reasons and factors that contribute to
learner’s refusal do their work can assist the teachers in xiphico secondary school in
enhancing the performance of their learners in grade 12 examination.
