In Part 1, we explored why traditional teaching often fails children — not because they are incapable, but because learning is rarely built around who they are.
This leads us to the most important question in education:
Who is the child before the subject?
At Anselhill Academy, teaching does not begin with a syllabus. It begins with understanding the learner.
Every Child Thinks, Feels, and Learns Differently
Some children:
Think visually
Learn by talking
Need movement and interaction
Require time and reassurance
When teaching ignores these differences, learning becomes stressful. When teaching respects them, learning becomes natural.
Why Interests Matter More Than We Think
A child’s interests are not distractions. They are entry points into understanding.
When teaching connects to something a child already loves:
Attention increases
Anxiety reduces
Motivation becomes internal
At Anselhill Academy, we use interests as learning bridges — not rewards.
