The Importance Of The Educational Factors On A Child's Mind

No one could dispute the link between health and IQ. If you think the two are directly unrelated, you obviously are not aware of the fact that clear thinkers do live longer. Thinking with a healthy mind is as important as breathing is to the keeping our body healthy and doing the daily activities we do to get through the day.

New research suggests that the current education system is far from being an effective learning environment as it once was for our youth, but many people already this. While the amount of hours spend doing school related things in on the increase, the education is less and less than previous generations in the same schools and classrooms who apparently spent less time doing school related things. Something is missing; some the problem is with the students, others say it is the system.

Sighting the shortcomings of the education system is not difficult and therefore tends to get most of the blame but when you look carefully at the quality of students attempting to obtain an education you will probably find that they are also falling a bit short. And programs like Head Start for instance acknowledge these shortcomings in the students that are created by health issues, quality of life issues, and the trauma they are experiencing in the home environment. Of course, it is not difficult to see that these factors are definitely affecting the quality of the education that students are able to obtain.

Not only are students struggling to learn, but just the simple tasks of setting sill and listening seems to be harder to accomplish for many students. When these factors are factored into the equation, the picture tells a whole different story, indicating that a lesser society quality is creating many of the difficulties that the educational system as well as the students are having to deal with and why educational goals seem to be harder to obtain for some students.

At the end of the day, so to speak, the important thing is that students learn to take care of themselves and their needs. The quality of life, in addition to success in life can be tied to how well a student is doing in school before they ever step foot into the real world and the future most of the time. Education is paramount along with common sense to help in dealing with the situations and events that make up an individuals daily life. While it is very important to have individual health and well being that can be passed on to your future generations, it is also important to ensure the health and wealth of future American generations.
