Why Parents Are Still Getting Education Wrong

(Newswire.net — March 30, 2015) Steyning, West Sussex — 

According to Andy Shaw, people always seek out to be in the best group, or work for the best firm, as that’s what they have been taught to do. He backs up his idea with the understanding that people do believe they have to go to the best school or be in the highest class possible, in order to take them further in life. Andy believes that this ideology has been the Mantra, and closely followed by teachers and parents alike. He added: “Nonetheless, I don’t believe this ideology to be essentially correct, so I have put myself in the valued position of not forcing my children to grow up, so instead I’m just allowing them to do it at their own pace.”

 

Andy says that he’s recently been thinking much about tests, schools, and universities, as his child David is about to sit his exams. He adds: “He is in the lucky position that he doesn’t need decent grades to do what he wants to do with his life, since I’ve told him that he just requires them if he wishes to do something to fit into their world.” Andy also states that his son’s friends are all being forced by their parents and teachers, who are telling them that they should do well or they won’t have what they want from life.

 

Andy claims that most kids at fifteen are battling to comprehend what their parents and the teachers are saying. He adds: “I believe I will be writing a book about these things before long, but for the time being I’m just observing the negative outcomes of the scenario. I can see how some of the parents are driving their kids at their limits just to be on top of the class, instead of just giving them the free will to follow their own chosen path. It’s because in this world people believe that you are simply smart by getting high grades in school. This is the reason why parents are pushing their children to fit in, rather then helping them to produce their own potential. Is it any wonder there are a lot of ineffective adults around?”

 

Under a recent “a bug free mind” blog post, over 50 people have responded to Andy’s thoughts about educating children. “Such perfect timing,” says Lynn, who adds: “My son is selecting courses for his senior year and is so stressed, and has no idea what he wants to do other than play volleyball. After we review some courses tomorrow, I will really try to change my approach. Another remark from Marie says: “Thanks Andy! My son was put into the bottom class because he didn’t like playing rugby and football.

 

Given that the bottom group does a lot of training and physical activities, such as physical education, gymnastics, basketball, athletics and circuit training he found himself being part of it. His level of fitness is at the top of the group, and today has absolutely no interest whatsoever in being in the ‘top’ group.”
