Schooling

Remote Queensland parents are pushing for assistance to stop their kids having to move away from home to attend high school.

The current style of passive classroom learning is failing students because it isn’t engaging enough, according to university researchers.

Parents in so many parts of the world are very fortunate in this day and age to have a choice as to what kind of education their children get, how they get it, where they get it and when they get it. One size does not fit all anymore, it seems.

Pat Kozyra, who has been teaching in the classroom for more than 50 years, covers a range of topics likely to be of interest to both parents and teachers.

“Tips and Tidbits For Parents and Teachers”, a 426 page book, written by Canadian citizen, Pat Kozyra after 50 years of classroom experience (the last 13 of which have been in Hong Kong), passes on a wealth of information for teachers in the process of developing their skills, and for parents bringing up children. Indeed even experienced teachers may like to compare notes.
