Whilst you are growing up you learn the basics from your guardians. These guardians are either your mother, father, nana, grandad, brother, sister, uncle, auntie, foster-parents. They first teach you about feeding and sleeping, then with language development.
Then comes walking, and the rest is history, unless, you can remember all the key facts that they teach you about the naming of items. This is when your speech is needed, you may want to reach out and touch things (physical development). Or to hear what is said.
They will of course keep pestering you to name the item that was said a few days ago (intellectual development) to rekindle a learning that is in the brain, total recall as it is known.
Once you have left the home and gone into education, you learn more things each day and if you are interested in a subject that the teachers had been talking about or your friends having conversations with you about what they like, then you will be learning and asking questions to learn even more. But once you have left the first stage of play in school, you will then be assessed upon your learning and ability to have total recall. It is key to note that these exams gather information about how the educator is doing in embracing your understanding of the natural world.
They will then give you marks out of a 100% to show how well you do in a given subject. For the most part you will be put into a group of other students who’s academic ability is about the same as yours.
This will last until you are about to go to college or university, I myself only went to college, and you are marked upon academic ability of either Pass, Merit, Distinction.
But what if you where unlucky enough to only just pass your schools main exams.
Are you going to become a millionaire or somebody who does not like to learn, and thinks it uncool to learn anything.
The basic fundamental thing in a Child’s life is to learn, they like to learn and it is fun.
The main understanding for babies to learn is known as P.I.L.E.S
Physical
Intellectual
Language
Emotions
Social
These represent the backbone of what a baby needs to learn to develop with others.
But in an adolescent it is just P.I.E.S
Physical
Intellectual
Emotions
Social
As they will have already learnt language in a way that is acknowledgeable tor them, either speech from the mouth or speech using their hands. Sign language is for people who have just recently or was born without hearing.
What I am saying is that no matter how intelligent there is always more to learn, and it does not matter on age or circumstances. You will learn, one way or another, it might be hidden in your talents, but you learn each day.
Take for instance somebody walking across the street with oncoming traffic. You got across the other day without any harm, you can do it again. This time it might have taken little to no time to cross the street as you judge speed distance time to cross.
There you have just learned three key areas of maths, and did not even know it. You will in fact estimate the best time to cross.
This then brings me to illiteracy, you are either born with a mental disorder that makes you unable to read the written word to make assumptions as to what the word is.
Dyslexia is a mental disorder that jumbles the letters around so you do not know what is written and is hard for the person to get by, unless trained in a way that they start to familiarise themselves with what is actually written.
