forcing causes physiological damage
[email protected]
IN RESPONSE TO YOUR COMMENT --
"In fact, I'm guessing that, by forcing, they actually create
physiological changes in the brain that make reading more difficult and less
pleasurable"
I have read in a book called Homeschool Burnout by Raymond and Dorothy Moore
that one of the causes of ADD and ADHD is by forcing kids to read when they
are not ready.
Also, 80% of athletes in ski racing have so-called "learning disorders", in
that they are not in pace with the school system's "breadline" "ladder"
learning style.

when my daughter was still in ps i was told she did things(NO LIE) to slow.
she is extremely smart and not a behavior problem ever but they said she was
too slow. so i had her tested for everything under the sun. finally the doc
came in and told me she had a very high iq and that she just learned things
in her own time. so i went back to the school and gave them the form they
made me have filled out and never said anything to me about her intelligence
only i needed to talk to her and make her work faster.
needless to say i din't have the potion of hsing then and told her to do
the best she could i would help her at home, the next year the started the
excellerated reader program. now i was told she was add and i needed to get
her on med. back to the doctor, she doesn't have add she just don't like to
read. more news the school didn't want to hear!
in third grade she began to have severe problems with her bladder and
missed alot of school because of this, that's when the schhool suggested i hs
her. i guess they didn't have the patience to work but with one type of
learner.
so last year we were able to bring her home!!!! yeah!! and guess what she
recently started reading the chroncils of narnia. the point being force was
told to me to delay a child's learning process, that each child can't fit
into the mold set by school systems, and making a child do something or hurry
or di things a certain way can delay what they learn because you've told them
they can't do it the only way they know how.
sorry to ramble but i thought you might like to hear at least 1 medical
professional does agree that force is the worst way to get a kid to learn.
