Week 37

With his grandmother at home, my son's learning has picked up some pace. She instills a certain discipline and forces him to sit and study in the afternoon. He has now been reading Hindi, writing translations in English, studying science and social science. However, I am still struggling to give her the belief that she is the best teacher he can get. She feels she has studied nearly half-a-century ago and so cannot be teaching him correctly. I keep telling her that the basics do not change... and if something has survived for 50 years, then only it is worthy of teaching.
I came across an interesting book called Ultralearning by Scott H Young. The book gives out some helpful tips in order to increase the speed of learning new and difficult things. I hope to be able to use it some time with him to help him learn better.
