Saying that though I think there is too much academic pressure on children, too much testing and too little teaching of practical and creative skills. Not every child is academic and so often these children become disengaged and bored and can end up suffering low confidence and self-esteem. I'm sure if we revitalised the curriculum so that it was flexible to all childrens learning styles that we would end up improving the confidence of many of our young people.

First and foremost, I feel it's about education and gaining qualifications. <br /><br />It's up to parents to try and steer their children in the right direction. It's difficult, I know, as our children are often influenced by their friends and feel an outcast if they don't comply with the rest of the group. Being a parent, or child, for that matter, isn't easy. <br /><br />We can only but try.<br /><br />Sharon xSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00032053376673575820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957058303175978721.post-90638029774395131822012-03-01T17:04:32.002+00:002012-03-01T17:04:32.002+00:00I agree with you, school for my son was for obtain...I agree with you, school for my son was for obtaining an academic education, not for learning social skills, manners, morals or life skills, all of which were my responsibilty as a parent in my opinion.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785982754437231666noreply@blogger.com
