Why do we hate school?

Not all of us hate school, but some aspects need to be changed to make academic life less stressful. 

Here are the top 5 things that discourage us from Learning:

1. Using fingers to count in Maths. Adults do it all the time. We teach them to use manipulatives to understand maths concepts better. They are walking around with a set of base ten manipulatives attached to their hands. They should be able to use them without fear of being condemned for it.

2. Read boring books. Kids should be encouraged to read things that interest them without worrying about what level it’s at. Let kids explore books. Let them abandon books that don’t interest them. Let them read comics, graphic novels, instruction manuals…LET THEM LISTEN TO AUDIO BOOKS!

3. Inclusion isn’t always the best situation for all students. Not everyone wants to be included in all activities. We have to respect their opinions.

4. Having unrealistic expectations. Both teachers and parents demand good grades, but they don’t care how children suppose to gain them. The rush for good marks will not make a student know the material. 

5. Lies. Everyone lies and believes children are too young to understand. But, of course, it is not how it works.
