Everyone has a different style of learning and I see this in my DS and his friends. I was wondering how this is accommodated in a class of 30, if at all.
It occurred to me that DS is expected to be able to pick up the pace of his learning and follow things in class more quickly, but he's the kind of person who likes to think about things and digest them properly. He doesn't perform well when put under pressure to get something done quickly. I would say he is a reflective learner.
However, it seems as though kids like this and the natural difficulty they have with the speed they do things is somehow seen as though they are failing.
Does anyone know if this is generally taken into account in primary teaching? KS1?
