In A Way, Education By Its Nature Favours The Extrovert Because You Are Taking Kids And Putting Them Into A Big Classroom, Which Is Automatically Going To Be A High-stimulation Environment. Probably The Best Way Of Teaching In General Is One On One, But That's Not Something Everyone Can Afford.

Ask Your Child For Information In A Gentle, Nonjudgmental Way, With Specific, Clear Questions. Instead Of “how Was Your Day?” Try “what Did You Do In Math Class Today?” Instead Of “do You Like Your Teacher?” Ask “what Do You Like About Your Teacher?” Or “what Do You Not Like So Much?” Let Her Take Her Time To Answer.
