pros:  Your kids are free to learn based on their own pace, and delve deeper into thier own interests.  \n\nCons:  Your kids learn from you, so if you have bad habits they will have them too.  Evaluate your self before you start...\n\nand create a good group of friends with kids aged 2-3 years younger and older than your kids.

I did! These are people too. I absolutely feel that they need to be taught how to be effective socially as well as educationally. I had a student in my first year teaching. He was a fourth grader who everyone warned me about. I was told he got in to fights everyday and I should really watch out for him. Well, I handled him differently than any teacher before me. I asked him what helped him to diffuse? I asked him if he could tell when he was starting to get angry, before he lost his temper. Together we came up with a plan that allowed him to deal with his own temper his own way. Lo and behold he became a straight A student who only got into two fights the whole year!\nWe also did peer counseling in the later elementary grades. Kids brought each other to a panel of their peers to try to talk out their problems. It was a very popular way for the students to make sure their problems were heard and understood. As students enter 4th and 5th grade social problems become a bigger issue and learning to deal with them without telling a teacher was essential. Nobody wants to be a tattletale but they also don't want to get picked on. I watched these kids learn respect and responsibility from peer counseling, it was very exciting!

I don't know that much about the psychology, but having three kids I can tell you alot about how children learn.  \nSome kids can sit still and listen to their teacher tell them what they need to know.  Some kids need to read about the subject to grasp it.  Some children need to see the object that they are studying, and others (most I would assume) learn best by touching and manipulating what they are studying.  \nSome kids cannot learn without moving around.  This seems to affect young boys more that girls, but the teacher needs to be aware that the child is not being disrespectful, but doing what they need to do learn.  Some kids can sit still, others need to be lying down, etc...  It takes a great teacher to let the kids learn, and not have a discipline problem at the same time.  My youngest has such a teacher this year, she has altered her classroom so that everychilds needs are met, and they still obey her better than any other teacher in the school,  I think it has a lot to do with respect- what she has for her students, they turn around and give it right back to her

You have a very difficult situation and empathize with you for that.  I do not know enough about your son to know if he is capable of learning how to read and write at a level where he could function in society on his own.  If he is having positive relationships and friendships at school, I suggest you allow him to continue going.  The social aspect of a childhood is vital to development.  It is important for him to understand the context that he is brought up in.  It is is important, however, that he get used to learning and studying, I whatever level he is capable.  If he is ready to play, but not to study, try to be creative and find things for him to learn that are also fun.  this way, learning and playing can be brought together.  Once he starts learning things for fun, it may be easier to persuade him to learn things that are not more fun.  As always, patience is essential.  Best wishes.

Well, in my opinion, success in school usually depends on the enviornment that you are taught in.  Friends, relationships, and trying to fit in are a couple of examples of why one person might not do as good as another.\n\nI wouldn't put all blame on the teacher if one person is not doing as good as the rest, I wouldn't even put all the blame on the parents.  That's just the way life is.\n\nAs for how kids could learn more efficiently.  I could throw an idea up.  Categorize all the teacher's teaching methods, such as verbal, written, computer based, etc...   Then when the kid registers they can take a questionaire to see what teacher best fits their learning style.  Of course there will never be enough teachers to fit everyone of the students.  But...hey...just an idea.\n\nI went to a night school program, and I found that a text book and computer based training worked better then having a teacher at all.  I did have an advisor, and he was cool but didn't know much when it came to teaching.  This worked for me because that is the way I like to learn.  It would not work for everyone though.\n\nGood Question!!!

Below is the source for a fact sheet that talks about that.  Effect depends on the age of student and what is being watched.  Check it out!  Good luck.

In what context?\n\nIf you are asking about skill transfer and generalization for special needs students, specifically in the area of language, then what aspect are you asking about?\n\nSpoken and auditory receptiveness would best be answered by a speech-language pathologist.\n\nFor reading and writing, student motivation to learn and interest in the skills being taught greatly increases the rate of transfer to other subjects and environments.

Yes, I do believe the things that happen in schools do affect our children.  I also believe this is happening not only in public but also private and parochial schools.  Children are bound to pick things up in a social environment.  Look at us as adults.  We still follow some trends, we drive cars as status icons and we dress and act like our friends of the same economic levels.  Not all things children pick up in school are bad though, where else will they learn social skills and how to interact with their environment.  This allows them to make critical decisions about who they are and who they want to be.  It gives them so say in what is right and wrong rather than constantly being guided.  I think the key is to instill in the children what is right and wrong and establish good relationships w/ them so they will tell you if these social factors affecting  in inappropriate ways.  This way we can assist the child in choosing the right path in life.  In my experience those that came from the catholic schools "came out of their shells" in high school. Good luck

I don't believe it holds any benefits, except make parents more neurotic, being around their children all day.  And who decides whether the parents are competent enough to teach.  Do you need to have a teaching degree for this?\nKids will most certainly miss out on a lot of interaction with other children, which is very important.\nIf you want to give them a better education, send them to private school if you can afford it.

Technology.\n\nIronic that something that was created to quickly access knowledge in a convenient way has served to take away from learning as well.\n\nLet me explain....\n\nOur students have been experiencing ADD in higher numbers. One finding in research is that we have become a "push button" society. Children are "plugged in" and "unplugged" numerous times during a day. At one time it was the fault of a "remote control" of a tv that allowed people to surf through numerous channels looking for the right show to stimulate their needs. Now let's not only add the TV to the picture but include the internet. They may have four or five windows open jumping from email to answers to a game to chat site back to their homework. If one doesn't give them the stimuation needed they hop to another and to another. Click to this and back to that.......get bored.....move to next window.\n\nIn addition, students have lost the art of using books for research. They "google" or use wikipedia and rely on answers fed to them from sites that aren't always as reliable as documented print in books. Oh sure.....there are many wonderful sites out there too. Don't get me wrong. But it is not enough to just "google." Students really need to master researching skills and technology has enabled quick access but at a price of accuracy. \n\nWriting is suffering as well. Students are found writing papers in "chatonese." For example:\n\n"This book is the one 4 u! It is so hilarious that I was lol. J/K!" \n\nTeachers can teach writing in brilliant forms. However, if students continually chat on the net in chat speak, it becomes a habit that is hard to break in school.\n\nTechnology is a wonderful thing! But I fear that learning has become "easier" for children. Part of the learning process is taking responsibility for your learning rather than expecting an answer to be fed to you via the net. I'm very anxious about seeing where technology will progress positively in the class room.

private or public plays no role at as such.\nFactors to think about are:\n-students\n-parents\n-teachers\n-interactions between these groups\n-opportunities for learning\nArguably private money can buy better learning conditions. Parents might still be a positive or negative factor depending on the school, and kids are always unpredictable.

In general, homeschooling.  Child often receives a vastly superior education.  Plus, it's not that hard to find "socialization" for kids.  There are lots of outside activities available to homeschoolers and nonhomeschoolers alike.

Most of the time most of us learn best from each other.  We all benefit from a variety of learning environments.  I would not consider the type of learning situation you describe the best option all of the time - it may be a good option for a part of the day for very specific instruction.   We all do well in some areas and not so well in others.

It depends on the individual.\n\nSome learn better by seeing.\n\nSome learn better by hearing.\n\nSome learn better by doing. This means applying the knowledge that one wants to remember.\n\nIt can also depends on what it is that one is learning.\n\nAnd certain things might be better learned in a certain way regardless of who is learning them.

I am a teaching assisant and there are so many children now in the 'inclusion' zone, it is sometimes impossible to have a controlled classroon. There are ADD, Aspergers, extreme low level learners, just plain old bad behaviour alll in the mix as well as the normal good children that are just there to learn. The teachers hands are tied. They can't get rid of any of these children as the law states they have to be included. It can be hell. I feel most sorry for the good ones who are getting left behind because so much time is taken with all of these demanding children.

There could be many reasons.  Inability for the child to socialize, not meeting the required standards established for a child of a particular age, bad learning environment, inability to provide the needed material to learn the required basics and others.
