This is the combination of low standards, high expectations, and ego are thrown into the mix.

[@DestructiveDave1900]

A lot of schools AND parents with this

[@blizzardwizard8318]

How is it low standards? If anything she had high standards. Just because she wasn't able to do well in school doesn't mean she has low standards, it meant that she couldn't do it. It's like a person who can't run fast, it's not that they have low standards that they literally can't go faster. Some people do not have the ability to go faster even if they wanted to and some people do not have the academic ability to get better even if they want it to.
