perhaps if there were certain classes (and i dont mean special ed classes where that can embarass the kid and make him resent school that much more). but i do believe there are a lot of kids who may suffer from this same thing in what can only been seen as some form of A.D.D. I dont say any of this to say im brilliant, or that im some ‘beautiful mind’ – not at all. (on top of that, my teachers were not the most patient people) i couldnt learn their way – i tried.
now, answer me this… how is it incorrect if i solved the problem, even though i did it my way? i wanted to ask questions and figure out their methods… i just had so many questions that i would have been embarrassed to ask. and any other form of problem solving was rejected and ultimately incorrect. therein lies the problem… i could get the answers, but it wasnt from the method in which the teacher “taught” us. and after trying to find the answers… u had to show your work, how u got it. in school, (atleast in my experience) u were taught to work problems a certain way. While i had a tough time in school, it wasnt because i was lazy and didnt care… it was because i tended to work problems differently than the rest of the class.
