Unconventional ways of learning - growing trend among students

Not all students are blessed with the idea of stable life. Because of the irregular routines and uncertainty about the movement, some parents find it difficult to give their kids what is popularly called as ‘conventional schooling’. If you are thinking, why I am not aware of boarding schools, then I must inform that instability in life comes with constraints of budget too. What if paying high fees is also not possible?

So, let’s move to some really unconventional ways of learning where learners can now stand apart without going to building called ‘school’ or ‘college’. First, let’s understand what has made parents look for newer ways of giving education to their angels.

1. A substantial subject structure

Students are made to learn various subjects according to their intelligence quotient. Conventional ways of learning have one very dismal requirement and that is - most of the students are made to slog on mastering same set of subjects no matter where their real interest lies. This practice of measuring intelligence with the same yardstick takes a heavy toll on the mental peace of a student and he is unnecessarily exposed to a competition for which he was neither prepared nor did he intend to prepare.

2. Restrictions of timings

Students need to attend school or college during restricted time period. College going students, especially, face this problem of how to find time to appear for the classes as schedules. This problem is actually valid for those students who work in order to fund their education.

Thus, there is an urgent need to find unconventional ways of studies for such students who want to do a bit more than just earning a degree.

3. No time for doing assignments

Conventional education is just unimaginable without writing an assignments. Teachers load the learners with various assignments thinking it to be the only way of sharpening the skills. But, children on the contrary, feel pressurized and start revolting mentally by staying away from the classes or by simply not doing the homework. So, it is high time when the parents need to find some better way of educating the child who should learn concretely instead of just finishing the assignment and earning grades.

4. Love for extra-curricular activities

Not every child is born to become a scientist; else, world could never see artistic masterpieces around. Educating children just to grow them to become file maintenance experts is a cruel attitude. There has to be some degree of desire to experiment with the ideas and to support the out-of-the-box thinking in your child who loves to challenge his mind in doing creative things instead of cramming vocabulary and numerical tables. We don’t say that elementary knowledge is not essential but making elementary studies the way of life is outright stupid.

So, how to make sure that your child gets what he needs to develop his skills in the right direction? Well, thousands of counsellors around the world are working hard to encourage people from all age-groups as well as walks of life to discard the borrowed vision and develop a thinking of their own. Here are some practical ways of learning that one can adopt when traditional schools become an unattainable dream.

1. Evening classes: If you are working throughout the day, go for evening classes if you want to enjoy the best of the flavours of self-dependency and conventional classroom coaching. Evening classes come as favourable respite to self-dependent students and offer them a chance to gain from the mentor-ship of learned teachers.

2. Online tutoring: If your boss allows you, you can make use of internet to earn a degree through online tutoring. You are given complete infrastructure online, such as tutorials, worksheets, solutions to assignments and mock tests as well for mastering the subject of your choice.

3. Home coaching: Reach for education boards who offer certificate courses that you can go for without attending schools or colleges. If you are capable of coaching your child, nothing like that; but, if you need expert help in guiding your child in learning, go for teachers who do home coaching. They can come as per your convenience to provide assistance to your child in learning the concepts.

4. Virtual classrooms: Virtual world is ruling all the walks of technology-driven life. There are certain university accredited courses for which virtual classrooms are available. Students can talk to the experts, become a part of discussion and take assignments as well as tests and upload their completed tasks for reviewing just in a matter of few clicks.

5. Online assignment help: This is one of the most wonderful ways of scoring better as a student. When you want to live up to the expectations of conventional education and just need support to submit the assignments or homeworks on time, you can seek help of the online coursework assistants who have expertise in doing assignment, essays, dissertations, case studies, and etc.

Where there is will, there are lots of ways. A child should be moulded into a beautiful human-being - it is the main focus of all sorts of education providing systems. If conventional sources are almost impossible to achieve, one can carve his path to learnings, achievements and ultimately to success on his own terms with the help of other ways of meeting the academic targets.
