~ Second Passion ~

That all children need attention from teachers, especially children who struggle with academics. As a teacher, you are not 'teaching' children, you are giving them the skills to learn. Children, who often struggle, are children who don't fit into the preferred teaching style their teacher so happens to be using at the time or the most common method or philosophy of that school. These children need to be given the skills to master on, how to turn a learning situation around to suit their style of learning. This does mean (OMG) teachers have to work harder to understand the child; however, the positive outcomes and future possibilities of the children when they transform into teenagers and young adults would be greatly beneficial from acquiring these skills at a tender age.
I will post more on types of learning styles in the future.
