...others are physical learners, and others have even different styles of learning (there are seven recognized types of learning). Teachers can attempt to teach to different learning styles, but sometimes trying to accommodate for all seven can be incredibly tedious, especially when there are a lot of students in a class. In these cases, your child could be struggling with a subject merely because it isn’t being taught to him/her in a way that is...

...what topics should be reviewed or emphasized. I also believe that asking questions encourages the student to think, which helps them make connections. The connections they make will help them in future situations because the students created these connections rather than merely being told information. I do not believe in simply giving out answers. I believe that memorizing answers do not help the student learn and that it actually hurts their learning. In math especially,...
