TEACHING
TIPS
WHAT
WENT WRONG? OLD "METHODS" AND PAST TIMES
-
I
do not know about most of you parents, but the kind of education most of us
received was the very basic "here's the book and learn" (the old
style of education); many times these materials lacked colours and
creativity and the kids considered them straight out boring.
-
When
the parent/ teacher got frustrated - the kid(s) will also get some kind of
corporal punishment.
-
The
parents used to be frustrated that their kid(s) are "bad
learners", but when it comes to kids' cartoons, games or play
etc. - they know all those rhymes by heart!!! How can it be then?
-
The
reality is that the vast majority of kids are very capable of learning
easily, but the methods used are inefficient.
THE
TEACHING
REVOLUTION !!!

child has the ability to learn, it is only the parent/ educator who needs to
