subject: Distance Learning In Different Ages: Children And Teens [print this page] Education is timely for all agesEducation is timely for all ages. Children that come to school for the first time, can be divided into two groups. Some of them like the learning process at first sight and demonstrate good academic progress in various sectors of their activity. Another group includes students that were discouraged from learning before going to school by their older friends or, God forbid, parents. These children can be persuaded to take the learning process seriously if they do not realize by themselves that it is important. However, when students graduate from high school and apply for a college without being forced to do so, it can evidence the total understanding of the importance of education by a student.
Age Matters
People of different age groups treat education and learning process differently. In this respect, it is necessary to identify the differences between the way education is perceived by children of younger age, teens, youth, and adults. Different attitudes involve different academic progress; the concept of age matters greatly for learning.
Children of younger age
The main influencers for children of younger age are their parents. In this respect, if parents encourage their children to learn hard, children are sure to demonstrate great academic progress.
Teens
The tastes, inclinations, and preferences of teenagers vary greatly as well as their attitude to family issues, moral values, their future, and education. It is necessary to control any changes in the behavior of teens in order not to miss the chance. The abovementioned chance concerns the moment when a teenager changes his/her mind and wants to bring back the opportunities, assistance, and faith of the parents in his/her success. When he/she does not find anyone who could help, he/she continues to misbehave and demonstrate poor academic progress, if any.
