ileobatojo: you can have the biology, i'd do the math! i wouldn't trust a woman that allowed an entire palace to go in flames with my finances. |

coogar: However, if the kid isn't mentally capable to deal with the school thing - are you going to open his/her head and dump the textbooks there? Some people aren't just gifted and there's nothing you can do about that...Just help them discover their unique talents from a young age and enroll them at a special school... |

coogar: If you're good in maths - then you shouldn't have a problem with subjects like: economics, biology, financial accounting, geography, physics, ICT, and chemistry, tbh... |

ShyM-X: he would - he's not a dullard by default! children are very manipulative. if you leave a small opening, they would take full advantage of it. never suck up to them that much to make such critical decisions. what do kids know?
one of my nephews suddenly became lazy to work. his score in math were horribly low. my sister used all the known methods but nothing improved so she told me. i visited them one day and i asked the boy what his greatest wish would be. he said he wanted the new DS. i told him if he scores 100 in math, he would get it. he didn't score 100, he scored 90 something but i still gave him what he wanted and that's how it's been since then. the monent he learnt there's an incentive attached to doing well in his math, he put in the effort! you can call it bribery or whatever - but my method works! 1 Like |

coogar: Lols!! Sign me up as your accountant, don't worry, I'll manage those finances real good! Hey, I can calculate how many louboutins it takes to buy a birkin! |

ShyM-X: i hate any subject that has to do with writing theories. the evil teachers just grade with their discretion. however with math, chemistry, physics, further maths, etc - you get full marks if you get the answer. no discretion is involved. besides, i am too lazy to cram notes and label a female reproductive system. give me polynomials, log theory or mechanics and my day is made! ileobatojo: i am starting to think you are an arsonist! you deliberately burnt the king's palace yourself - the fire outbreak wasn't an accident. calculating louboutinis with my hard-earned wages? what an appetising offer but PASS! |

coogar: Ok, I'll use a real life example to buttress... Whilst I was in uni, I had a naija guy in my class(one for 5 black guys in a class of about 200 students)...He's a hard-worker and he obviously reads a lot from the way he answers every question the tutors ask in class... However, when it comes to TCAs and coursework, he's a perennial D, E, and F student... That shows some people just don't have what it takes, no matter how hard they try.... |
Re: When Your Child Isn't As Intelligent As You by Nobody: 11:25pm On Apr 23, 2013 |
coogar: Those subjects I listed require the same high cognitive skills you need for maths, hence why I said you shouldn't have a problem with them... Once you can grasp the concept behind them - they're are all pretty straight-forward... Unlike subjects where you have to read a trailer load of books and verbose... |

ShyM-X: he's just a bag of nerves! i had many classmates like that - they were disgustingly weak under tension/pressure that they literally forget all they have learnt! it's more of a confidence issue than intellectual. the moment they leave the examination room, their memory comes back to life! ShyM-X: biology is a useless subject! i hated it more than anything i have ever encountered. i could kill the dude that put plant science in biology - very depressing aspect - xylem, phloem, and reh reh reh. i am not good or i am not interested in anything that has way too many words than numbers. |
Re: When Your Child Isn't As Intelligent As You by Nobody: 11:34pm On Apr 23, 2013 |
coogar: Lmao!!! I bloody love the way coogar always turn the corners!!! Pressure in doing coursework, no? The guy just doesn't have what it takes but he's a decent bloke - God bless him... biology is a useless subject! Biology is arguably the closest you can't get to real life within the four walls of a classroom... It deals with things you can feel, touch, see etc.. |

lastly, let me use sports as well to buttress my point... You can't force anyone to be the Messi, Ronaldinho, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Tiger woods, Floyd Mayweather, Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammed Ali, and Mike Tyson of this world - it's either you have it, or you don't.. |

biolabee: Lmao... Osmosis is the greatest word ever!!! We shall judge them based on how they move through a partially permeable membrane!!! #JudgementDay!! |
Re: When Your Child Isn't As Intelligent As You by coogar: 11:55pm On Apr 23, 2013 |
ShyM-X: he's lazy then if coursework is his problem! besides you dunno what he was going through in that period. maybe his parents were separating or

ileobatojo: your math prowess? lol - you that cannot find the HCF and LCM of a group of numbers. ileoba, prove to me you can solve simultaneous equations before you can have the keys to my vault! |
Re: When Your Child Isn't As Intelligent As You by Nobody: 12:26am On Apr 24, 2013 |
coogar: Lmao.. Cool story, bro.. you can touch phloem and xylem? Obviously not - hence why I included "etc." at the back of my assertion... However, you can see them with the aid of a microscope.. |
Re: When Your Child Isn't As Intelligent As You by Nobody: 12:27am On Apr 24, 2013 |
biolabee: I don't know about that, bro... Once the "hymen" kicks the bucket - everything shall be "permeable" on the judgement day... |
Re: When Your Child Isn't As Intelligent As You by Nobody: 12:53am On Apr 24, 2013 |
coogar: See your life? Of course I compute the highly come-on factices (HCF) and the lo and come-on multitudes (LCM) of any numerousity of numbers you can show me. Now hand over those keys! |

Its scary though to think that your child might just not be intellectually sound seriously. I think thats where the onus falls on effort.If your child is a C potential i think without the push or an enabling enviroment they might go down the D or E path.And all these 'experts'dont help,they way they keep harping on about how the early years are very fundamental in a childs academic life,so why wont i put a lil pressure to make sure my child is not another black statistic.Oloun o nije. Esp in the UK(hubby thinks am paranoid)but i just think academically odds are stacked against black kids.Some of the factors for this have already been mentioned i.e single parenting,poverty and let me add my own Owambe i must belong mentality.When Daddy and mummy just want to work that dead end job(am not looking down on any job oh its the motive am looking at i respect the working man)with all the hours God can send so they can buy gold and do 40th birthday party and change 6 times,what time is there is to monitor the childs progress.I have aunties moan to me about going to parent evenings Like really?If you dont go for parent evenings how will you know where your child needs help? As a christian though,i think asking God for wisdom on how to raise a well rounded child who is able to reach his/her full potentials is important. |

damiso: Its scary though to think that your child might just not be intellectually sound seriously. True but each parent has their set of priorities and will achieve it based on THEIR OWN scale of preference A child needs to be pushed to the limit of his potential so as to be achieve his destiny but this should be done with patience so as not to alienate the child What if he finds out that he was just a local champion and not cut off for the big league Has anyine watched this movie Parental Guidance 1 Like |
Re: When Your Child Isn't As Intelligent As You by damiso(f): 11:47am On Apr 24, 2013 |
biolabee: True that about every parent having their own scale of prefrence.Some parents ambition for their daughter is to marry a rich man.Simples .All the private sch is to that end. |
