Has your child ever complained to
you or mentioned to your hearing that he /she is having issues with a
particular subject?
I know that in most cases we try as
much as possible to offer advice but the result doesn't seem to improve.
Sometimes your children will totally
resign their fate to such a subject and make case in support of their inability
to make good grades therein.
It doesn't happen only in
Mathematics, Agricultural Science, English Language, Economics, the rest can be
weak spot too.
Sometimes you recruit lesson
teachers and if your child is leaving in a school you keep calling hostel
mothers and class teachers hoping against hope they perform magic.
I want to offer you a way out. You
see, many of us never had lesson teachers but our records are pretty
awesome.
Necessity caused us to look deep
within and we made discoveries.
Do you know that half of what your
child learns in the class each day evaporates before they are done with lunch
that same day?
Many of them stare at the teacher
with rapt attention but when you ask them what took place in class, their
answers are sketchy.
It is good to listen. But listening
without taking notes sometimes may result in forgetfulness.
Taking notes ensures proper
understanding of what is heard. Sometimes while writing, they will discover
important questions that would help them further understand the subject.
Such questions leads to further
clarification from the teacher. This broadens their knowledge of the topic.
Encourage your child to take notes
as well as listen. This in most cases leads to proper understanding of the
subject.
In the next write-up, I will take a
proper look at the concept of note taking notes while lesson is going on.
Do share this with your friends and
colleagues. And I will welcome your questions and opinions on this piece.
