Teachers' Day Challenge - teach a low IQ boy / myLot

India

September 5, 2016 9:35am CST

As a teacher I have taught brightest of high school and college students. Teaching bright students is not a difficult task. In fact, I enjoy teaching good students. But today on Teachers' Day in India, I took up a challenge - the challenge of teaching a low IQ boy of fifteen, who dropped out of school when he was six. I have to first teach him sign his name and count upto 50. That's my target for next twelve days. It is difficult but I hope to succeed.

It does seem like it would be difficult but definitely a good challenge. I wonder why he dropped out of school at 6? Here in the U.S., it is a law that all children have to attend school.

Hi I was a teacher too. I think when we start encouraging the kid with low IQ as if he did a great job for his/ her little efforts then they really like to work harder. I hope you reach your targets! Best of luck
