School life or education is the best way to provide our
children with knowledge and abilities to live good productive lives.
The teachers try their best to cover all the subjects by the
end of the year.
In the kindergarten and Std 1, all the children start at the
same time. All are side by side, basically equal to one another. But as the
years go by, some students began to fall back. Here the school begin to grade
them into A class, B class. Sometimes they use different means. The reason is
to allow the children to continue at different speed. Exams are held to grade
all the students.
During all this, a very simple begin to happen. When the
children don’t do well in their exams or are very playful or naughty, they
became branded as stupid, useless, slow, good for nothing, etc.
These kind of scolding and grading done often by the people in
authority, make them believe that they are really stupid, slow, useless or
otherwise.
The parents add to the situation when they get the report card.
They also scold the children stupid, useless…
The friends also call each other names when they compare their
results. When these kind of words are used over and over again, what do you
think will happen to the confidence and belief of the child?
Is the child really stupid, slow or useless?
even in the school where many
highly educated people work, have overlooked this mistake. don’t underestimate
this mistake!
Question: Why do the child fall
back?
Possible answer:
It could be because of playfulness. Maybe the child was sick
and absent. The child could also lose interest in education because of
unhappiness and anger for wrongful punishment, fear of the teacher or other
reasons.
Many children lose interest in education because they are too
young to think of the importance of education in their lives.
The important thing is that the child is not fall back because
of being stupid, slow or useless.
Give the child any help or extra classes or tuition, and the
child will be as clever as most other children. Teach the child the importance
of education, but never scold them stupid, useless, slow…
Example:
In life when we become weak or sick we immediately take
medicine and eat good food to become strong and healthy again. When the
children are slow or weak in studies, we must also give them extra help and
tuition so that they will become fast and clever.
NB. Pain
and sickness is a sign to show us that we need medicine. Bad result is also a
sign to show us that the child needs help.
We never give the sick person bad food because we know that
he/she will definitely become worse or even die. Why then do we give to our
child negative words when they do not do well in school?
Think about this. It’s a serious matter! We must stop this
mistake in our lives and the lives of our loved one.
In our office, when someone is finding it difficult to keep up
with work, we must help that person. If the sale person does not know how to do
the sale, we must help her by giving her training and advice. Everybody can
achieve anything they want if they are train to do it.
Do not take negative words and statements lightly!
there are many reason why a child
fails exams.
bad results tell us that the child
needs extra classes or tuition.
