Abstract
A survey regarding children's learning situation between now and previous was searched by OnePoll for 2000 parents with children aged from 5 to 14 for online children's educational company Byju'. More than half the patients said their children are smarter than they were children and it is said as one reason that the ways subjects are taught are more fun today. Also, new technology and better understanding of child psychology have improved the way kids learn.
More than anything, the survey insists three in five parents now think their children have an easier time learning from home. About 40% parents said at-home learning lets them give their kids more one-on-one attention, and a third said it gives children more time to learn the lesson material too.
Did you ever find it hard to stay engaged as a student?
I disliked only memorising things like words when I was a student. I especially hate to remember English vocabulary. Because it was very boring.
On the other hand, I can remember some mathematical formulas, etc. Because if I remember them, I surely get a great score on my tests. However, even if I remember the English words, it wasn’t easily connected to my score.
Likewise, I judged whether the subjects are fun or not due to only testing scores. Although, I think it was a mistake. Because I hardly remember now such things that I remembered for tests. I think the study we learn when we were a child is basic to learn more professional things. So, I think I should have tried more well understanding, not only just remembering.
