The lessons schools don’t teach |
Even though our kids spend years studying for exams, some of the most significant tests they will encounter in life don’t have textbooks, grades or answer keys. Children learn fractions, mathematics, grammatical rules, scientific ideas, and a plethora of other topics from us as educators and parents. Additionally, we celebrate high percentages and flawless results while preparing students for exams, competitions and entrance exams. However, in the process of finishing the curriculum and getting ready for the next exam, we might be forgetting to ask a straightforward question: Are we educating kids just to do well in school or are we also training them to function with confidence outside of it? Consider a student who is adept at calculating percentages but lacks the knowledge necessary to handle a monthly budget.
