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 !!!
-
Every child has the ability to learn, it is only the parent/ educator who needs to see what teaching style fits the child's learning best. Most children like variety in learning, and some of the following points are just some ideas of methods you could switch among while teaching your kids.
