Boredom
– It’s Not Your Child’s Fault
I’m
bored with school.
How many times have you heard
that?!
According to studies on this
subject of boredom – students’ boredom can be linked to Stress.
Here are a couple of quotes:
- “Boredom
is one of the most consistent experiences of school and one that can be
frustrating and disheartening for teachers.”
- My
favorite, “By definition, to be in a state of boredom is to say the world
sucks out there in some way. But
often that’s not the case; often it’s an interior problem, and students
are looking in the wrong place to solve the problem.”
What’s wrong with those
quotes? You’ll notice that they are all
centered on something being wrong with the student. We most heartily disagree!!
I’m Virginia Koenig, co-author
of How to Learn – How to Teach, Overcoming the Seven Barriers to Learning, and
we think this is evidence that your child has been mishandled by their teacher.
One of the reasons your child
can express boredom is because they are in the last and final stage of the
Three Stages of Student Decline.
Parents – you need to be aware
of the Stages so that you can recover your child before they decline too far
and are beyond reach.
It’s all too common that a
child’s want to learn and contribute is trampled on. In their enthusiasm to share, they may speak
out in class only to have their teacher tell them to be quiet. The child is dominated, overwhelmed and made
subservient to their environment.
The good news is this can be
reversed. To learn how to reverse the
harm being done to your child go to howtolearneasily.com.
