Overwhelm with homework or art work that is impossible to do, give a dick for endless reading, or exhaust yourself with the request of memorizing. These are just a fewer of the examples that make kids lose their desire to learn and start treating school only as a essential evil. School should be a place that awakens imagination, creativity and the desire to conquer the planet in young people. In theory, it most likely is, but it frequently has small to do with reality. After a fewer years in school, children are frequently more unwilling than they want to be. Of course, there is no request to generalize, due to the fact that there are besides large schools managed by directors for whom the well-being of the child, his talents and passions are the overriding value. But do these happen often? Let's answer ourselves. So that children don't feel like it - a "guide" for teachers My boy attends the first kind of school. Recently, the past teacher came up with the thought that she would do a fast quiz. Out of 9 possible points, my boy scored 7 and got a rating ... satisfactory. Not even due to the fact that he wrote something wrong, but just gave very short answers. "Nowhere is it written that you gotta compose a lot, I don't realize what's going on, it was expected to be a fast quiz" - he said. Well, yes, it could be clarified, but why - there would be besides many good marks. The next time the kid won't want to study, due to the fact that what's the point - he'll get a C anyway. My boy is simply a typical intellectual, but he has 2 left hands erstwhile it comes to art work. How many times have I had to aid him (or do for him!) any of them! I remember a winter scenery he was expected to paint in the sixth grade. My heart sank erstwhile I saw this work ... I think the image was worthy of a five-year-old boy ... So that the boy would not be ashamed in front of the full class, I rapidly waved another image and phew ... I got a four. Instead, I saw him embarrassingly leaf through his art book. There were many interesting things there, but the woman never utilized the manual. no of the topics in the past of art, styles in painting, etc. were touched on during the lessons. It's a pity. My boy would have only A's and A's if alternatively of these troublesome paintings, sculptures and Christmas baubles he could do any presentation or paper. He may have liked art very much and may become an art historian someday, but he is improbable to be in danger of doing so. Plastic is very bad for him. Another example is math. Nothing like memorizing patterns. A friend's daughter late died in this field. She even likes geometry, but the test of cognition of formulas for lateral surface area, full area, volume of individual figures and so on simply beat her. erstwhile he has to solve a task and can usage the table with formulas, there is no problem. He just has a bad memory. Why are memory cards so crucial for teachers? I'm not even mentioning the fact that many mathematical formulas don't should be learned by heart, it's adequate to be able to derive them yourself, but no 1 teaches that... Reading books at school are a river. Do you truly request to read Quo Vadis? from cover to cover? Of course, the position is in the canon of school reading, so we will not skip any things. However, a somewhat more liberal approach to reading itself would be useful. A book is simply a brick, so an interesting solution would be to divide it into fragments and order each student to read one, and then the kids could tell the full communicative in turn, with the aid of the teacher. Only this requires any flexibility from the Polish language teacher. After all, it is much easier to do a fast check of the content and enter ones and twos from top to bottom. And to discourage kids from more demanding literature in general. We, parents, besides add to the fire. Not only teachers and our education strategy kill children's willingness to learn. Let's be honest - don't we besides add our 2 cents to this? After all, we constantly force our children to learn: "Study, you have a test tomorrow", alternatively of encouraging: "Why don't you survey for tomorrow's test? We'll take the quiz together?". We tell children that they will be fine if they don't start learning. Or we point out their weaknesses. Or we compare them to better studying colleagues. Or we scare them with school erstwhile they are inactive in kindergarten: "When you go to school, you'll see!". And lastly, we praise so small erstwhile they accomplish something: "You got an A? Okay, that's how it's expected to be." Does it happen to you too? It's time to think about it.
