What Could Be The Cause Of A Child's Dullness?? by Penboy: 4:16pm On Feb 03, 2015
I teach in a certain primary school and I'm maniacally bewildered regarding the level of dullness some pupils exhibit.
I try so hard to teach these ones simple sum over and over again; ask them this sum in the next second and you'll get a frustrating answer.One pupil was over 12 and could not even read decently.

And i ask why?
Is it that "dullness" is genetically inclined or environmentally induced?

P.s: if you've not taught a dull student before, you won't feel my pain.

You'll just have to bear with them. . . Poor foundation from primary school, Fear for Maths, hatred for certain teachers, HEREDITY, poor home upbringing and attention. . . . . . . . . Two of my siblings had an extra year in the University and I almost made First Class. We all graduated in the same Year. But bro, na God the give o

You are maniacally bewildered ...hahahahahahahhahahahahahhahaaha!

back to the matter;

The kind of seed to be sown depends on the type of soil. Our education system needs to realize the comprehension ability of students/pupils and tailor their teaching techniques to suit each individual needs or pattern. Be patient, I know how you feel. At times you might even feel like abusing the kid and walk away, but don't do it. With patience and persistence, even the dumbest child can be turned into a guru!

Good luck !

nice one bro. I just felt, maybe "school" education is not for everyone.
Some people might do well vocationally.

hmm. Yeah, I had a heart to heart discussion with one,only to realise that he lost his mother and four of his siblings to death. May be the cause of his instability.

genes are nt very effective wen u r getting old ,most of d genetic materials bcom under active and wont be transported efficiently to d offspring.......also a woman in her late 30's tend to undergo prolonged labour which could put more pressure on d baby and damage d brain...any doubt ask a gynaecologist

I wont say you are wrong because am not with facts. But have seen children born from old age that have resemblance of their parents even more than I take from my parents.

some is the environment they find themself
y some is the way their parent treat them I notice this when I was a teacher, this boy is so lazy, not that He dont know what He's doing but because of d way his mom handle him, he look dull and lazy in class and when u ask him any question he will not Answer.
Also the kind of friends they keep (doh not applicable to all)

unseriousness and hate for education

I believe environmental factors contributes significantly to a child been dull.. Inadequate exposure to the right learning conditions as the child grows is a major factor.
Although some children's dullness cannot be explained scientifically because you ll find a dull child whose parents are doctors and well to do..
In summary sha it is multifactorial
