EDUCATION AND BEHAVIOURAL FAILURES

Abstract

The work defences the thesis that even ensured equal opportunities to
invest in education and to get better life, even if this is the best life
alternative for them, young people and their families would hardly take
complete advantage of these opportunities
. This particularly regards the ones in an unequal position. The reasons are looked for in behavioural failures connected to hyperbolic
discounting and to focusing on the present
, momentum, stereotypes, herd-instinct
behaviour
,
the paralysis at the availability of numerous options
and defects of will
. The work also
suggests solutions, which to help young people and their families to take
adequate advantage of educational opportunities and to develop their potential,
getting over or softening behavioural deformations and deviations from reality
