Learning is customized to each student's individual needs |
|
Learning occurs when carefully chosen experiences are supported by reflection, critical analysis and synthesis. |
|
Experiences are structured to require the student to take initiative, make decisions and be accountable for results. |
|
Throughout the learning process, the student is actively engaged in posing questions, investigating, experimenting, being curious, and solving problems, assuming responsibility, being creative and constructive. |
|
Students are engaged intellectually, emotionally, socially, soulfully and/or physically. This involvement produces a perception that the learning task is authentic. |
|
The results of the learning are personal and form the basis for future experience and learning. |
|
Relationships are developed and nurtured: student to self, student to others and student to the world at large. |
|
The teacher and learner experience success, adventure, risk-taking and uncertainty, because the outcomes of experience cannot totally be predicted. |
|
Opportunities are nurtured for learners to explore and examine their own values. |
|
The teacher's primary roles include setting suitable experiences, posing problems, setting boundaries, supporting learners, insuring physical and emotional safety, and facilitating the learning process. |
|
The teacher recognizes and encourages spontaneous opportunities for learning. |
|
The design of the learning experience includes the possibility to learn from natural consequences, mistakes and successes. |

|
| Children will afraid of being laughed by their friends. |
| Students may face difficulty in catching up with the syllabus in class if the students were to join a class which has already begun for a few months. |
| Children are less likely to be distracted by other factors. |
| Tutors provide additional homework on top of those given by teachers in school. The extra homework from tutor is an added burden to the students. |
| Students treat their tutors as a walking dictionary, expecting them to furnish answers to the homework given by school without thinking through the solutions by themselves over time. This can make them mentally lazy. |
| The child will not know what to learn as there are many instances where what is being said in the school is very different as to what is being said in the tuitions as the teachers in each of these places will be different. |
| The child’s learning abilities get compromised and he would become dependent on his tutor rather than seeking their assistance and his own efforts get compromised. |
| |
|
| Teachers teach according to the timeline given by the principal. Most of the time, they can only make sure that few students understand the lessons in class. |
| Students are taught by rote rather than by examples or by a specific learning plan. |
