Does your child hate going to school in the morning? Have you ever wondered why? In a recent survey, ScienceDirect asked over 21,000 students questions about school. (You may want to sit down, the results are pretty bad.) 75% of all feelings students reported in their open-ended responses were negative. And those negative feelings prevailed across each demographic group.
So why do kids hate school? Here are some common responses:
- “I don’t like all the worksheets” Lucy Gubler 1st Grade
- “I get sick of sitting at my desk” Amelia Wilson 5th Grade
- “I get tired sometimes and want to rest” Lionel Yang 3rd Grade
If your current school isn’t a good fit, come visit Providence Montessori Academy. Our school excels in making custom-fit education for our students. Our students get to pick their work, and they pick where they work: on the floor, in a chair, or at a desk. We don’t force our students to follow a rigid schedule designed to accommodate the teacher. Rather, we allow our students to navigate their own studies, at their own pace, in an environment created to stimulate their curiosity. And it works beautifully.
If this sounds like a better option than your current school, schedule a free tour with us and learn why the Montessori Method has been thriving for over 100 years.
