Don’t transfer fear for maths to children - Lecturer advises parents

By Abdul-Latif Ahmed - September 24, 2021

A former Dean of the Faculty of Science Education of the University of Education, Winneba, Prof. Samuel Kwasi Asiedu-Addo, has advised parents not to transfer their fear of Mathematics to their children through their words. He said most parents who had difficulty with Mathematics while in school tend to describe the subject with negative words thus involuntarily instilling the fear of the subject into their children. According to him, parents should encourage their children through positive words and not tell them about their own challenges with the subject. He said when parents did that, the children did not feel encouraged to do better in the subject “because after all, even daddy does not like Mathematics”. Workshop Prof. Asiedu-Addo gave the advice at the opening ceremony of a two-day in service training workshop for junior high school Maths teachers from the Kwadaso Municipality. It was organised by the Department of Mathematics Education of the Akenten Appiah-Menka University of ...

Google is quite keen on this undoubtedly beneficial feature that's upping the privacy and security on Android as it will be gradually rolling it out to millions of older Android devices. This undoubtedly beneficial feature is set to arrive to select Samsung devices even if they aren't running Android 11 very soon.
