Secondo voi, idealmente, ci vorrebbe una differenza d'età minima tra insegnante e alunno?

Sui social mi spuntano notizie di 24enni che fanno gli insegnanti alle superiori, in teoria non ci sono impedimenti essendo maggiorenni, io però non sarei favorevole. Quello dell'insegnante è un ruolo che per sua natura richiede un minimo di esperienza e di senso di autorità. Che autorità potrebbe mai esercitare un giovane che ha appena un decennio scarso di vita in più degli alunni? È più vicino a loro per età che ai loro genitori. Potrebbero essere fratelli. Io personalmente mi sentirei parecchio a disagio a sgridarli e a mantenere un atteggiamento distaccato, perché mai dovrei? Non dico che avere insegnanti giovani non sia un vantaggio ma un conto è portarsi 20 anni di differenza con i propri alunni, un altro è 10. Meglio un insegnante di 34 anni. Così come anche per fare l'animatore per i bambini, un 16enne lo troverei piuttosto ridicolo, un 24enne già lo troverei più "normale".

I have no credits and want to be able to start my junior year (or sophomore at least)

I'm 16 and have been "homeschooled" by my mother since 2nd grade. I have been catching up on math mostly.

Really I'm wondering what I can do to get caught up and earn the missing credits. In my state you need to have 12 credits to enter junior year and about 5 to enter sophomore year.

I'm open to summer school. Even if I can't do my junior year (which probably isn't possible) I still want to be able to graduate on time.

How important is personal attention in learning?

I’ve been thinking about how students learn differently. Some understand a topic quickly in class, while others need more time, examples, or step-by-step explanation. In a normal classroom, it can be hard for every student to get the same level of attention because everyone learns at a different pace. Do you think students learn better when they get more personal guidance, or is classroom learning usually enough? Curious to hear from teachers, parents, and students.

Getting special needs testing after already in college

Can anyone comment on experiences getting a “diagnosis” after already being in college for one year and experiencing a major struggle managing coursework? I have a student who has refused to get help in high school even though he struggled. Because of his hard work he managed to be accepted into a good university. After two semesters, "everything" is kind of falling apart (social, self, academics/work). Compounding that, he is now depressed and avoiding leaving his dorm. He is realizing that hard work and good intentions may not be enough to pursue his goals. He may be engaging in risky-type behaviors (not drugs) to drown out reality. I'm looking for ways to help him as he chooses to help himself that respects his autonomy.

First, I’m hoping to hear from others who have either navigated this situation as a support person or a striving student. Does anyone have resources especially for this situation? As you may have guessed, the student is not super-communicative, so having a step by step plan for himself as well as his support system would be a great way to anchor conversations about assistance and/or treatment.

Thank you in advance for your time and help!

Explaining complicated concepts to children

Im not an educator, but as former child and older sister to a much younger brother I cannot stress enough how frustrating it is to want knowledge as child with no access to technology and be refused it. I remember VIVIDLY being extremely interested in magnetism and electricity as a child and genuinely being obsessed with knowing whats behind it, and adults would REFUSE to explain it to me further than extremely basic explanations. when id point out that that doesnt actually explain to me what is behind their simplifications, theyd just say "well its very complicated".

This may seem overdramatic but it REALLY REALLY bothered me and made me anxious. Now my brother is 9 and whenever he asks me hard questions i look it up for him if i dont know myself, no matter how complicated it is, and if he doesn't understand then so be it. i can tell hes at least satisfied to have been offered an explanation, even one he cant fully follow. Obviously its not realistic this can always be implemented in classrooms, but if you have the opportunity to nurture a childs curiosity, please do.

Im typing this because i had genuinely become so frustrated with the incomplete explanations offered to me that i convinced myself i hated physics for YEARS. now that i have to take it in uni, im finally getting the answers i wanted as a child and i feel like im gna cry. again, overdramatic, but things seem much bigger as a kid. ps, i would not have understood most of this but hearing it anyways would have done wonders.

tldr; dont dismiss children that want knowledge, better have them not understand something you say than not saying anything at all.
