Do You Ever Think It’s Beneficial For An Adult To Learn Or Go Back & Review Something That Kids Are Learning?

EX: I have a college degree. Reading comprehension has always been a weakness for me. So, now I’m trying to sharpen my reading comprehension skills.
Or it can even be about learning new games that kids play.

    Yes, Have you watched the Show Are you smarter than the 5th graders on FOX entertainment. It aires every Thursday at 8PM. If you watch this show, you will be suprise how much information one has forgotten or not known. It’s fun to watch, I really love it

    Sure it is it not only can help you to understand what your children are dealing with it can help you to better understand a subject that might have been difficult for you. When my youngest daughter was in grammar school her school would have day classes for the parents to help the to understand the way that the kids were being taught math and other things so that they could help their children. But it also allowed us to understand what our kids were going through meaning that we were less likely to blame them if they didn’t get it the first time. I know that some of the parents who’d had problems with math in school finally go to understand some of the concepts that they didn’t years ago.

    O.K. then tell me what the difference is between what you study in college and what you may find in grade school? I’ll answer this quickly,NOTHING! A child only needs to know and understand the importance of the education. The education received in college is only a code written in a language we’ve been programmed to understand. However since the younger person needs the stimulation from a lesser type of environment we don’t enforce a rule of education on their psyche. If we did they would become as non-compassionate beings and no longer a love-seeking human. Just thinking in terms, your opinions will be gratefully appreciated,. Mine are only a ground to work on and not a path to the real facts. thanks

    I think is very important not only so you can spend time with your kids and get to know the school side of their life but to show you are not just hounding about grades but show them you would like them to teach you as well. We teach them things everyday so let them help you too. You dont always know everything when it comes to your kids.

    Absolutely, it will give you time to spend with your child. Also, for the future, if they have any questions, and need your help, you are keeping up to speed on things.

    I think you should go back and learn it because it will do you good. By the way if you want to learn something learn it and ignore what people think of you.

  • Navan says:

    It’s always better to go back and revue as you get a different perspective of what you had learned..
