Can We Make School More Enjoyable--and Effective for "Slow" Students Too?

D. T. W.
- Abstract
The article offers ideas on how to persuade and help learners improve their learning skills. According to the author, although genetic inheritance can influence intelligence, hard work can change intelligence. The interaction between genetics and the environment in relation to intelligence is explained. The author recommends ways to help slow learners to catch up, such as praising their effort, showing confidence on the students and treating failure as a natural part of learning.
