Positive Student Attitudes

Positive student attitudes relate to interest, self-control, enthusiasm and respect for others.

Negative Student Attitudes

Negative student attitudes relate to a lack of focus, engagement, self-control or hostility towards others.
It should be noted here that it is common for the same student to hold both positive and negative attitudes. For example, a student could be cynical and hostile but also diligent and hard working. In many cases, exceptionally talented students may have the confidence to be negative in certain ways.
