Albert Einstein once said, “We’re all geniuses, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, he’ll spend the rest of his life thinking he’s an idiot. “This brilliant mathematician defined in a few lines the absurd silence that accompanies the learned disability: people with skills that are not exploited because the academic system is structured to value certain skills and despise others, so seriously that a true genius of literature can spend his whole life without realizing it, because he was expected to develop successfully in sport.
That’s how the learned disability works.
- During his high school years.
- Albert Einstein did not stand out in any subject.
- Being fundamentally null and void.
- Both human and accurate.
- His subsequent discovery was just one more test of the terrible failure of basic university education.
- Which forced students to acquire certain knowledge without studying.
- Taking into account each other’s personal skills.
- What continues to happen today.
- So the disability learned plays a very important role in the future of students.
The disability learned, a theory described by social psychologist Martin Seligman, is essentially that repetition of stigma for years, continued failure in a discipline, or a negative view of society’s failure results in a disability, related to a subject, artificially created by a child. or teen.
Isn’t it common to tell a child, don’t you get along with math, with grammar, or English, however, it shouldn’t be like that. By creating the premise of a child’s inability to stop performing a task, it ends up reflecting poor performance justified by familiar phrases, such as, “Why am I going to study if I don’t know anything about math?”ends up causing the child to fail constantly, fulfilling exactly what his parents told him.
The conclusion we can reach without fear of mistake is that no one, absolutely no one, can define who we are based on our failures, these failures are, in fact, essential to know and know us. and what happens around us.
Human beings learn from failure, and the defense learned opposes the natural tendency to learn something after many failed attempts. I once heard of a gentleman: “When you know how to write, no one cares if you learned five weeks ago, or if they first compared you to others; it will only be important that you know how to write, and if you continue practicing, in a few years you may be proud of what you had to learn, because it is precisely the difficulty that has inspired you to improve more than others.
