Many parents spend a lot of time and energy trying to ensure that their children the best education possible. Parents help with homework, provide many opportunities after school and stay in touch with teachers and school to help your child succeed. However, when all is said and done, the child must be able to learn and pass the curriculum requirements.
Some parents may have sailed through Did you know that the school system is only able to cover 50% of the learning needs of students?
That’s it! – Only 50% of the student in a school environment that allows them to be successful students.
The reason is not because of bad teachers.
There are many excellent teachers, dedicated to the school, whose life work and passion is to educate students to the best of its abilities. Teachers want their students to succeed, so we have years of training and service. Not the fault of teachers that many students fail to reach their learning potential.
It is the result of poor education.
their own school experience and have been successful in the academic requirements for graduation, and gone to higher education. Is it unreasonable to expect their children to follow their example and get good grades? For some children, yes it is a reasonable expectation, and many, of course, follow in the footsteps of their parents. However, this can not be true for all children, even in the same family. I myself was a good student, enjoyed my school experience and I learn. I went on to become a teacher for over twenty years in the school system, was director of two schools, and pioneer of independent achievement. All three of my children are intelligent and have received equal opportunities with regard to their education. Of the three, only one is following my steps.
I was less diligent with two of my children, I can not help them? Do not give them the support they need to succeed in school? Absolutely! They were indifferent teachers and lack of support for their education? Not at all! The problem is that as parents we can not go to school for them. Sometimes it seems that parents would be easier if we could!
Is the school system bad?
There are many excellent schools where some students are able to thrive and excel in their learning. For students in schools meets the needs of their learning styles and motivates them towards success in their educational experience. The school system is not bad for these students is good. However, the nature and structure of the school system means that it is only able to meet the needs of specific learning styles and personality traits of their students. For a fairly large number of students across the school day is an achievement in itself. Intelligence and motivation to learn, are not the problem for them, but the school structure and environment itself. An example of a student was Albert Einstein. He found school very boring, as learning tools in those days had to do with repetition and learning by heart. Learned to read was at school and talk to interesting people he met, the school itself. He spent most of his time in his reverie classes. The system has no room for creativity and imagination, allowing you to learn about what interested him. There is no provision in your school system for people who think differently.
Many students today, whose learning styles are not addressed in the school system are likely to be dismissed or labeled as lazy, hazy, and unintelligent, disorganized, ADHD or a learning disability . School for many of these students is an endurance test, some do not. The school experience can devastate their confidence and self esteem because of their inability to adapt or adjust to the expectations of the system and those around them. However, these same students as adults can be a great success because of its entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, ability to think outside the box and see the world from a different angle.
If your child has difficulty in school, there may be a reflection of his father, teacher or school. Your child may be trying to learn in an environment that conflicts with his natural ability and learning style. To ensure that your child might be like trying to learn to swim in an ocean of sand! Look beyond the “normal” expectations and see the situation through the eyes of his son. You might be surprised! How about a little research on the school experience of Albert Einstein and many other leading figures in our history? I think it is possible to see things from a different angle.
