SUMMARY - G Is For Genes: The Impact Of Genetics On Education And Achievement By Kathryn Asbury

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. As you read this summary, you will learn how to create an education system that takes into account the uniqueness of each child and develops his or her individual talents. You will also learn : that your children are unique individuals from the moment they are born; that you shouldn't label a child when he is not gifted in a subject, but rather support him; that the children of people of modest status do less well, but that education can redress the balance; that school sports are a good way to establish good health habits and to combat problems such as smoking; that complimenting your children on their efforts rather than their intelligence is a better way to give them confidence. The science of genetics is changing the world. Geneticists are influencing the fields of medicine, public health, agriculture, energy, the environment, law and social policy. However, education is largely absent from this list, and schools are not benefiting from advances in genetic research. This must change. Researchers now know a lot about how genes influence learning. It is in genetics that the keys are found that will allow every child to reach his or her academic potential. By listening to this advice, you could improve schools, make children more fulfilled and, in the long run, make the population more accomplished and effective. Why wait any longer before taking that step forward that will benefit your children?
