Nontraditional Learners

"Teaching Non-Traditional Learners"
Suzie Boss, Edutopia, May 31, 2012

"In hindsight, Skloot can joke about her own journey as a nontraditional learner. She was kicked out of preschool, she says, for "refusing to nap." Things didn't go much better when she reached her teens. Smart but bored, she failed most of her required freshman year classes in a traditional high school setting.

"Things quickly improved when she switched to Metropolitan Learning Center, an alternative high school operated by Portland Public Schools. There, teachers invited her to consider, "What do you want to study?" Her childhood dream of becoming a veterinarian suddenly seemed possible. Motivated by being able to direct her own learning, she then "blasted through school," taking additional science courses at the nearby community college."

I always believe, that family relationships are much better teach your kids than precision of educational science. The main objective is to become success in usual life, be more self-awareness and other. Thanks for post.
