"10 things I think (some) parents should unlearn… 1.  Learning is best measured by a letter or a number. 2. Product is more important than process and progress. 3. Children need to be protected from any kind of failure. 4. The internet  is dangerous for children. 5. Parents and teachers should discuss students without the learner present. 6. Homework is an essential part of learning. 7. The school is responsible for the child’s entire education. 8. Your child’s perspective is the only one. 9. Learning looks the same as when you went to school. 10. Focus on (and fix) your child’s shortcomings, rather than their successes." - × × ×
