Q. Can I get cognitive learning training in my child's school? Why not?
A. Unfortunately, in most cases the answer is, "No, cognitive learning is not offered in schools." For a variety of reasons, schools generally do not address cognitive learning skill weakness effectively.
Most schools care about helping students with learning struggles, but many issues work against schools being able to provide this type of help.
First, schools are not set up to deliver one-on-one training, and this type of training is the most effective way to strengthen cognitive skills.
Next, school schedules and ratings are built on teaching academic subjects. Nonacademic training is outside their norm, difficult for them to justify in their budgets, and beyond most administrators' and teachers' areas of expertise. Even in areas such as sports, where individual training is recognized to be valuable, the "training" often turns into group sessions and demonstrations by a "coach" delivered to 10 to 20 kids. Individual skill training (mental or physical) is rarely found in school.
Also, the volume of students in public and private schools requires a group management philosophy that makes individual students part of a whole -- be that a class, grade, or performance group. This leaves little time or perspective to view a student's individual needs as primary, as is required with targeted and focused skill training.
For the time being, cognitive learning skill training is not available in schools, and must be sought out from private training organizations like LearningRx.
