Passion for Learning: Keeping Your Students Spirit and Creativity Ignited

Nurture your child's passion for learning. As I suggested in previous blog posts, Keeping Your Child's Love for Learning Alive, now more than ever, it is critical to raise your child in an environment that nurtures their natural passion for learning, allows for choice and helps them discover and follow their passions. This honoring of their creativity leads to exceptional children, exceptional students and exceptional human beings. Joy, wonderment, happiness, discovery, exploration, these are all words that describe the early stages of being that babies and young children express and experience as they grapple to make sense of the world they have been born

into.

What happens though when we send them off to school? Before long we note that sense of joy, wonderment, happiness is gone. The desire to continue to discover and explore has come to a screeching halt. What just happened?

At Brock's Academy we know. What just happened is that the educational environment is restricting the child's natural instincts to explore, discover and create. Too many educational environments squelch the inherent gifts of the learner in pursuit of keeping the industrial model of education functioning. Recently, due to high stakes testing and increasing fears that we are falling behind the rest of the world educationally, this has only gotten worse. Rather than stopping and really changing our educational paradigm we just do more of what we are already doing. And it's not working.

Please, do not buy into this! Step off that treadmill! Change your child's educational environment. You are in control of your child's education. By law, it's still your parental right!

You have options. You can even choose to un-school your child if you like.

This is why a customized, personalized private school option is so important. We know that most parents don't have the bandwidth or desire to homeschool but are seeking something uniquely different for their child. At Brocks Academy, we bring the customized private school to the learner. We respect that children were not meant to be standardized, but rather, their differences were meant to be cultivated and ideally, celebrated.
