Didn't they say, if children can't learn the way you teach, you've got to teach the way they learn? haha :)<br /><br />I'm highly visual, quite badly audio and never kinesthetic. That makes up most of the express students (mainly they are audio/visual), which makes them '<br />capable' of sitting down and listening to a person standing besides the whiteboard talking and talking. The technical steam are mostly kinesthetics, which explains why they have to run around and basically making them more 'rowdy'.<br /><br />Singaporean schools teach only visual and audio mainly, thus generations of students who are not learning well in that way are deemed 'stupid'.

I've never met or talked to them before.<br /><br />There lie the paradox: Some people after reading their writings and biographies, assume they know their idols personally... <br /><br />Remember the movie - I am your no.1fan? Shudder... <br /><br />And we laugh at young boys and girls screaming their lungs out for their idols at the airports! Adults do the same - just in another way ;)Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-88624094835141736032011-11-01T23:09:55.040+08:002011-11-01T23:09:55.040+08:00Hihi,

Over time, I prefer learning by trying out stuff to get the hang of it and reading up to find out if I've missed any of the key features, especially when learning IT stuff.<br /><br />Be well and prosper.PanzerGrenadierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836438378215893219noreply@blogger.com
