Workshops and Lectures
When a person has trouble learning to drive, we don’t tell him to “drive harder.”Why, then, do we tell a student who is having trouble learning to “study harder”?
 |
Come learn why "studying harder" is not the solution and what causes students to give up on a subject or drop out of school altogether. We would like very much to help parents in teaching their children and in advocating for them. |
