What can schools do to draw out the best in unusual learners? Suggest whatever seems reasonable to you.


Schools, nowadays, have been increasingly adopting various types of extra-curricular activities quite frequently. Also, the addition of foreign languages such as French, German, Spanish etc. to the academic curriculum is another significant step in this direction. Certain steps that can be taken include the incorporation of “daily or weekly unusual tasks” such as fun activities related to stitching, knitting, cooking classes along with proper and regular competitions, making creative things such as a button out of a chalk piece (as mentioned in the chapter) or best out of waste. Although such activities, somewhere or the other are done in schools, the priority of having such activities should be increased to the level of academic priority with a certain regularity throughout the year. These activities will not only provide an impetus to cultural activities but will also help in overall skill enhancement and provide an opportunity for specialization for interested students in particular fields.
