Recently, a parent asked me what he could do to calm down his academically stressed-out daughter who cared almost too much about her school grades. This is a seldom asked question since usually parents ask for help with students who don’t care enough about their academics. Following is essentially the content of my response:
Math is a subject that must be studied differently than other courses. Two characteristics separate it from other subjects. It is sequentially learned and it is a skill subject. For a student to have success in math, he/she must understand these two differences and then be willing to change the approach to math study.
I read something recently which stated that the way each of us sees our life shapes our life. And, how we define our life determines our destiny. I believe this principle can be applied to students, as well.
