Decline Causality....Much More Sociological than Organic The abject level of Reality in American Society is frightening...the very people that created the problem now are asked to define the results Crazy..... If we look at the Nations that have excelled it becomes more than obvious that it is due to Structural Systemics and Cohesive- United Intention Something we do not have within the Mainstream American Educational System If we were to test a selected sample of Private, Charter, Homeschool populations ...the results would be vast improved SO....there is no collective mental health deficiency in our young people due to some organic disorder Our Children's Academic & Emotional Decline must be squarely placed on the shoulders of this Administration, Big Labor, Big Curriculum whose misfocused energies into Social Darwinism has destroyed several things Normative Learning Environment- a 20th Century American Standard- GONE Peer Learning ....which in Asia utilizing the Confucian Method is top shelf Structured Cumulative Achievement-..............( Don't Want to Hurt anyone's Self Esteem) Reliance on Referenced Information vs Spontaneous Knowledge Our children's mental health decline begins and ends with the failed leadership involved in American Education

How to help kids manage math anxiety The consequences of math anxiety can be daunting, but caregivers and educators can take steps to help kids manage their fear of math #Anxiety #Math #Psychology

“Whether it’s allowing students additional opportunities to master material or make up missed classes, we reduce anxiety and increase hope—especially for students who experience mental health challenges—when we adopt a mastery-learning mindset.” Rob Eaton, visiting professor at Brigham Young University - Idaho, shares his insights into mastery learning, a teaching approach that focuses on building opportunities and incentives for students to conquer course material in order to decrease unnecessary stress and discouragement.

#30daysofwritingwithGrace #day3growwithgrace #mentalhealthawareness "Maybe I am writing this so someone reads it. So they know I tried, that I struggled against my weakness, against this darkness spreading inside of me." — A paragraph from my diary. Growing up, I was that brilliant kid everyone liked. Academic success came to me all so easily. Transitioning from the 'A' student to struggling with 'Cs' has to be the most difficult thing that I have faced. I didn't know it had something to do with the way my brain works— my neuro divergent brain. I felt I was a fool. How many young people have to live their lives thinking this way about themselves because of a condition that is perfectly natural and could be remedied? In primary and secondary school, I fed off understanding classes when the teachers taught them. I would do the little revision my brain allows me, and bingo! I was cool, raking in the accolades. My first year in the university went by with the same theme. I came up 3rd best in my department, despite missing many tests. The same secondary school approach worked. Things would change quickly though— for the worse. The little self esteem that I had left was crushed when I started struggling with my courses in my second year. We'd gotten to a point where lecturers didn't care so much about anyone understanding the topics. So I had to go and study the topics from scratch on my own, and there, my biggest weakness was exposed. Because of my ADHD, my brain found it difficult to focus on boring topics and despite my best efforts, I often turned up to exams knowing I wasn't prepared enough. I never had to struggle so much to make excellent grades for the better part of my life. But all of a sudden, I was struggling hard, harder than ever, but with little to show for it. I never knew what the problem was. I thought it was me. I ended up hating me. It's easy to attribute my eventual descent into depression to just my academic woes. However, writing from a point of view of better knowledge now, I see it isn't. It was just the last straw. The only thing I had left was taken from me.

My class 8 student, who has always considered maths a tough subject and, with that mindset, used to get low marks, today justified her fear by showing me her maths exercise page of the Data Handling chapter (question number 3 and 7), where the marks corresponding to maths are the lowest compared to other subjects. School books, which are the medium to convey the right information and are responsible for building a healthy mindset, should refrain from framing questions with such stereotypical scenarios. Young budding minds need to be free from the knots of shallow thinking in order to foster mental growth. Publishing school books by blindly following statistics can have a negative impact on a child's psychology. A school student tries to relate to everything written in their book; therefore, to support their healthy mental growth, they need to be taught accordingly.
