Which quality?

Question

Teachers, which of the following qualities do you think helps a student successfully progress in school and why? Persistance or a good memory? Thanks for answers in advance!

Answer 1

In today's American school system, teachers expect effort. While, effort can get you through school, a little intelligence can help you succeed. Yet, remember that school is only one aspect of your life. With this said, please make time to relax, life is too short.

Answer 2

It is more on persistence (having good memory is a bonus). A student may have a good memory, however if he/she lacks persistence as shown in actions like inattentiveness, absenteeism, tardiness and the likes, it would not help a student successfully progress in school.

But with persistence (coupled with innate intelligence) a student has a greater likelihood of succeeding.

Answer 3

Both are important qualities. You need persistence in order to keep at the tougher assignments and not slack off. You need a good memory to retain information and apply it in the future. As a teacher, I'd take a student with great persistence over one with a great memory any day. There's something about the kids that try their hardest that makes me happy. :)

Answer 4

A memory will always forget. Persistence makes a student work harder to commit to his or her her goals.

Answer 5

i think a good memory would help. because when you have a good memory, you would know everything that the teacher said and have more times to do other difficult questions if you are doing a test.

Answer 6

PERSISTENCE GO FIGURE LINCOLN FAILED MANY TIMES SO DID MICHAEL JORDAN MANY U HAVE TO HAVE PERSISTENCE

Answer 7

neither. It is the ability to cheat that will get you ahead these days
