How Listening In Class Can Improve Your Learning Ability.
Listening is a learning experience in itself. It takes some time to learn to listen effectively. This is not wasted time because it brings many benefits, not only to our neighboring classmates, but to administrators, teachers, other students, and family members. Listening is really a simple task, as it requires self-discipline and the desire to learn. Basically, listening is a respect for others and yourself, and it helps everyone to become more focused on the task at hand. Our teacher not only has us to deal with, but several more classes throughout the day, all deserve the same attention and opportunity to learn. Our sense to be popular or busy bodies and not listen, be lazy, doesn't help anyone, mainly ourselves, and we are the losers. Just simply paying attention and listening makes going to school so much easier. The school work and homework is not so difficult because we know what our teacher has said in the classroom, and we know what we are suppose to do and what is expected of us. Paying attention in class reduces the load on the student, not to mention our parents who are footing the bill for our education. We are all going to have to listen to someone one day, and the ability to listen and comprehend will probably determine what we achieve in our adult life, this includes; job security (money), wife/husband/family (happiness).
Last, but not least, it's not all the student's responsibility when it comes to listening in the classroom. The teacher plays a big part in this role also. The curriculum should be taught in an interesting, intriguing, and challenging environment, in order to maintain a level of class participation that enhances the educational aspects of the subjects that our parents are enforcing at home, by making sure we do our homework and by paying their part monetary wise, by taxes and (if applies) by paying to a private school.
