“If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.” (Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Estrada)
Never ever call a student stupid for not understanding what we've teaching. Each student is unique and learn differently. It is our job to adjust our teaching to meet our students' needs. Some students are visual, others are auditory or kinesthetic. Sometimes, if we work hard enough to vary our activities to meet the needs of all kinds of learners, all students would acquire and reach the intended objectives.
This could be applied after the teacher learns more about her students and observe them enough to know how each of them learns best. It also requires spending sufficient time planning instruction methods and activities. Tenacity is also a must. Thus, it needs effort from the teacher's side but could take the students' achievements up to the next level.
