Kids these days (in general) don't know how to study for school?

[valet]

For the parents on here. I'm curious. How do your kids study for school? I talked with some kids at my high school and most of them don't study. They don't know how to study. Even this blerd kid I know, who get All A's told me he doesn't really study. He learns by doing his homework and remember it.

I had lunch with my niece today (she's graduating next week). And she does "traditional" studying. She does practice math problems, until she actually get the problem. She actually reads book in her English class (I know kids who can't even listen to audiobooks. "Too boring". I wish we had it that easy. But she did say she wished schools taught kids how to study. Any thoughts on this?

They’re too busy on their phones trying to go viral.

your niece is right, school has never taught kids how to study. And there are different ways of studying, different ways of learning.



I am sorry, im not someone who can stare at a words and intake everything conceptually. I need to do, begin the rewiring in my brain

To be fair, i struggle more than i used to with concentrating on one thing due to consuming internet content and i don't even use social media. Imagine them, with their upbringing from birth effectively. In the end you can pass a test with very little effort but to understand and retain is something else, it needs some repetition and focus.

Too be fair they don't teach them what they need to know to study and self organize alot of the time. They spend most days being prepped for state tests by any means necessary

more like regurgitation.. with standardized testing all you need is to absorb most of the material and throw it up come test day.

this changed for me personally my junior yr of college. Had to start learning concepts

When was that a thing where schools taught you HOW to study?I thought it was always just they taught it at school then gave you homework to see if you understood the assignment

not even gonna lie I didnt even learn how to study until my junior year of college when my dad ripped me a new one cause I wasnt doing good and he was paying for my tuition.

ended up graduating with a 3.6 gpa but yeah I do wish they did kinda teach us how to study. all the asian kids and white kids go to tutoring growing up so they learn how to study from a young age.

It hasnt been a thing. At least not in my context. I think it should be
though. School counselors could come in and teach kids tips on how to study.

My mother taught me, quizzed me before test. We made up test questions based in the study guide. These kids dont have that. So i think they should be taught some type skills in this area.

Even if it was taught would kids even listen? Teachers have been complaining that kids aren’t paying attention because of smartphones in class so you think they would pay attention on how to study at home?

I'm late 30's and I remember being taught the Cornell notes method at school.
