Teenagers Education - Just For Parents
Posted on May 1, 2008 - Filed Under Home and Family |
The author of a short article that I recently edited truly touched a critical issue. I felt compelled to write about it. That issue affects teenagers and their High School education. In my view, it is critical. You be the judge.
This author is concerned with High School teachers, and the power they have to shape and to sculpt our kids’ future. He questions how good teachers are at teaching. He wonders if teachers are mostly chosen by a college degree, but otherwise ignoring teachers’ abilities to excel at the Teaching-Learning process.
In his writing, one can read that “There seems to be very few parents realizing and comprehending how critically important it is to have not only well prepared and skilled teachers knowledgeable in one subject or science, but teachers who must inescapably be highly efficient and proficient when it comes to execute something vital and crucial: how to teach“.
That sentence really hit me: “… teachers who must inescapably be highly efficient and proficient when it comes to execute something vital and crucial: how to teach“. It led me to ask myself two questions:
* Will it be possible that our teenagers fail because they do not have the intelligence to learn ?
* Will it be possible that they fail because they are confronted with some of the teachers who do not know how to proficiently teach ?
I seriously doubt that nature created a human brain which cannot learn or it has difficulties to assimilate knowledge at an age when that brain is wide open to acquire knowledge more than at any other age.
When grades are not good in High School, it may not be that nature made a mistake with one brain. It may not be that a teenager does not want to or shows no interest in learning when every fiber in his mind is telling him otherwise. It may be that the process involved in passing knowledge on to him is the one failing, it may be incorrectly implemented, and far from being “highly efficient and proficient“.
This author brought up to light what may be affecting youngsters, and no one notices. They may not be in the best position to speak up on their behalf. They may have no one by their side. They may feel alone and intimidated to confront an educational system made out of adults who ~let’s admit~ are likely to stubbornly deny any wrong-doing.
Assuming that you are a parent, I thought that you may have wanted to know about something with powers to detrimentally affect your teenager’s life at an early stage; and with potential to do the same to the rest of his life.
You may use the link below to read this author’s words. It has to do with us parents becoming responsible and aware that it is our obligation to help our kids succeed in life starting at the most formative stage of their lives.
