Controversy over whether educational abilities are hereditary has existed for years. Although researchers say that we must recognize and respect students' differences that are inherited, recent studies show that genes don't necessarily determine our performance. Here's what we know:
- people can't always control a genetic trait, but steps can be taken to help all students come up to par
- the belief that "I had a problem with Math, so my child has a problem with it" is outdated and limiting to the child
- although students differ in how they learn, alternative learning approaches and extra practice assist the student to become competent even in a difficult class
Your child should know his or her learning style so that teachers, tutors, and parents can help in the most effective manner. (Our cat thinks osmosis is a great learning style.... it's not!) See "Tutoring Services" here on our website for details on how we can help.
