education

I'm sure there are alternative ways of teaching, like, if your children like computer games, then consider their education when buying them one. Buy one that involves history, mathematics, geography or spelling. Then buy books to correspond with the games, and make sure they read the game instructions and the books alongside. I'm sure they'd be willing to learn then. My granddaughters do some of their homework on the computer, particularly the older one, when it comes to writing a lot. Thus, she enjoys doing her homework more. The only downside there is, that they don't practice their handwriting enough, but that can be easily remedied with the writing of notes and personal letters to friends. If a bit of fun an imagination is incorporated into the learning system, then I'm sure the lessons will be much more easily stored in their heads. :) Brightest Blessings.

i see that too. not just sa but everywhere. i hope you make enough money to put your daughter in private school. my daughter's school costs R1020 per month. the others are even more expensive. i fear that sa has fallen behind a lot on most levels. especially education and medical facilities. the public schools are dangerous and the teachers dont give a damn. they dont want to fix things. they want to control them. it will become even more difficult for the kids as they change the sylabus constantly.

Our kids don't want to learn now, and they are crying out to us and we are not listening. It isn't that they kids don't want to learn, they are not being taught! For the past 25 years, the education system in the United States has been changing. A new curriculum has been mandated in all 50 states to deliberately "dumb" down our children. If you don't believe me, watch this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=5IAqsrMpaLE. The goal now is to modify our children's behavior to conform to what is good for society, not to question the role of government: in other words the ultimate goal is to mold our children to be good workers for the big corporations. This is totalitarianism (the state controlled/regulation of every aspect of public AND private behavior) The state of California sued the Board of Education and the court ruled that once the student enters into the publicly controlled school system the parents no longer have the right to regulate their children's education and that education can be taught by any means and by any way the public school district sees fit! But parents are speaking out across the country! http://www.schoolandstate.org/home.htm http://www.americancitizensacademy.com/ or read: American Education Fails because It Isn't Education (http://www.americanpolicy.org/educ/educationfails.htm)

WElcome to generation Y. Students are alot harder to teach now as they are used to doing multiple tasks at once and they want instantaneous results. The key to education these days is to keep up with the times, gone are the days of chalk and talk. Generation Y students want stimulation as they are used to that with all their technologies and gadgets. Some schools here are dealing with these issues by bringing in smart boards, this is an interactive whiteboard, that shows videos, programs, etc. Also by schools bringing in laptops, I think that will help stimulate and encourage students to learn more.

education gives us the power to reason and question our doubts
