Rule of Three: Part Three

While teachers are trying to get students eager to come to class to learn about the subject, the student might just have trouble learning the material in general. For some students, there might be more weak spots than others in class. For example, if someone is really good at doing sales and business, but isn’t good at math, that would be a huge problem because math plays a big role in business. The person may get the concept of how to work things out with customers but he/she may not necessarily be good at math. Another example could be that the person’s first language is not English. They may be really good at their job but their communication with others in the work place is poor because they aren’t good at English. This relate back to school because the student should have gotten proper education from teachers that support them and make sure they are doing well before going on the a higher level or where they should be going. Students then don’t participate with the classwork and they start to fall behind. Teachers should be able to help others to have them eager to learn even though they are not good at the subject.
            There are also different types of concepts to each subject. Math plays a big role in this. There have been experiences by many people that if the student understands the concept of math, the course will be naturally easier for them. If throughout the whole course the student doesn’t get the click in the math, it will be much easier for them to understand what is happening in the class and what the teacher is trying to teach. This should go for a lot more than just math. Subjects like science, econ, government, and perhaps English will work as well. Not being able to learn the concept can make the students motivation go down for being excited to go class. This restrains the student from learning and preparing them for their future job. Teachers are supposed to care more for the students if it is clear that they are failing. Universities and States will be hard for teachers, but community colleges classes are smaller and easier to have a one-on-one time with students. If the subject is too hard for the student, the teacher could recommend another class.

            Many times, students take classes that are just too complicated for their level of education. It is not easy for a student to jump straight into a Calculus 3 class when they just finished Calculus 1. Even if the students think they can handle it, they most likely missed a lot of information. Sometimes the students just didn’t get down the information in their previous prerequisite class. There have been many times when students try to graduate as soon as they can so they take all the required classes to graduate. Then they start to think that the subject is boring because they don’t understand the material. This happens to many students and teachers cannot help the student if they joined the class that’s too hard for them.
