Learning Disabilities Info

What part of learning don’t you understand? Is it the part where the teacher is negligence in providing a meaning? Maybe the part was never discovered when your parents failed to help you develop accordingly.

Do you have a learning disability because you cannot grasp the meaning of a particular subject? Maybe not!

Maybe you have a problem with understanding the wording in instructions. Learning is a process, and when some of the elements required in learning to our capacity are under developed, we often find it difficult to learn in certain areas.

This does not mean we have a learning disability, rather it means someone needs to approach the problem area differently. When a person has a learning disability, it is said that this person does not have the ability to work toward success.

Of course, this means that the person will have difficulty throughout his lifetime. NOT!

There are countless of individuals with learning disabilities that stood out from the rest. Most learning disabilities are understatements, since most times, it is the teacher that causes the problems. In other words, when a child is learning he needs to learn on his level of understanding.

If a teacher is using big words in a classroom, or else briefing a topic it can become confusing.

I remember in 7th grade that I was claimed to have been a learning-disabled student. When I walked out of a classroom after ten minutes into a math test, the teacher said, you couldn’t be done yet. He continued, saying if you are done, I know you flunked the test. I was dismissed from the classroom and an hour after the other children finished the test, the teacher with a look of shock on his face, says you have an A.

As you can see, some of us learn at rapid speeds, while others learn at slower pace. I remember struggling to understand people when they talked, and later learnt that I was not the one with the problem.

The people that were attempting to tell me something lacked communication skills. Again, we can see that learning disabilities are understatements, since most times the teaching persons are disabled.

The people that label a person with learning disability often lack the ability to understand individuality.

Schoolbooks can be even more frustrating, since they teach us inaccurate notions, such as evolution. How ludicrous this theory is, since major scientists are finding more proof that the information is incorrect.

If you can see, schools are a large part of the problem when it comes to learning and disabilities. Unfortunately, today millions of children are misinformed and are often forced to believe according to a set code of rules.

As children created, we have a natural instinct that tells us when we are told a lie. What child in his right mind is going to believe that he evolved from monkeys? Another problem in the education system that poses threats against learning is that the schools will often repeat what has already been learned.

In high school, we are taught algebra, geometry, and so forth. When we go to college, we are re-taught the same information, only on a so-called higher level.

Don’t get me wrong, I love college, since it provides a deeper understanding in learning. High school and middle school is where I see more chaos that hinders learning. When you have a classroom full of hungry minds, it leaves no room for the children that need extra attention. A child might attend high school and struggle to grasp the concept of math. The child might not understand how math plays are part in learning. For example,

I’ve heard many children say, why do we need math; I probably will never use it anyway.

Since math teaches us how to solve complex problems, and benefits us when we are older and paying bills how to manage our money…we might need to find another way to teach math, making it more explainable.

Now, my topic is learning disabilities – hum…if you do not get where I am going, check your learning level.
