We have talked a lot lately about the failure of the Spanish education system in both Secondary and Primary and now I want to explain some of the possible causes of this and address the areas in which the education system would have to improve. The first question I invite you to ask is whether the school is killing the curiosity of your children.
A child who has no interest in learning new things, who does not get excited about the mysteries of the Universe or does not ask us fascinating things that challenge our own mind, is that he is suffering from a situation in school that slows his natural desire to know . Let's analyze which are the signs that school is killing curiosity and creativity of our son.
Attention then if our child stops showing enthusiasm or interest in learning. And I don't mean making letters, numbers or cards, but really learning and falling in love with the world.
When school kills curiosity
When learning is a routine and we begin to detect that it dislikes and escapes any subject that involves acquiring new knowledge, it is time to ask ourselves if something is failing in school.
A clear sign that the school is killing our son's curiosity It is that he begins to refuse to learn and in front of any cultural or scientific issue he demonstrates weariness and even refusal If the learning becomes boring or hateful or is only valued by the grades, or the failure is feared, there is something that goes wrong.
Normal and natural in children are the questions, the desire to experiment and an infinite curiosity. To really learn it is necessary to ask questions, doubt and make mistakes. Discover for yourself and be motivated by your own interest in knowledge.
We must be attentive if we perceive that our child is going out and stops wanting to know new things that are not exclusively what marks the school program of that moment or, simply, we notice that his capacity for astonishment and his passion for knowledge in areas of his Personal interest decreases. This may be a sign that school is killing your child's curiosity.
