StudyRight – The Dudes’ Guide to Study Skills

21st Century Schooling isn’t necessarily built in a way conducive to your dude’s strengths.

• What other time does your middle school or high school son sit still for hours on end?
• I’m pretty confident that — unless he’s watching a movie or asleep — your son is active.
• School, at first glance, doesn’t always fit the profile of the best expeirence for an active, high-energy guy.

 Your dude probably has strengths in areas that aren’t typically measured in “A’s” and “B’s.”

• At the same time, just because your son doesn’t fit a traditional profile for a high-performing student, that doesn’t mean he isn’t intelligent. In fact, some of the most intelligent people in the world don’t fit that “sit still and listen” approach that many classrooms fit.
•  Creative, positive-energy, a bias for action, a great sense of humor, and an active personality aren’t weaknesses; they’re strengths.  But they are strengths that aren’t measured in the typical scales that most schools grade by.

 Those strengths can be leveraged toward academic performance — but curriculum demands on educators mean most guys never learn how

• Nevertheless, over the past several years, we’ve seen young guys find success by harnessing those strengths toward their studies.  Think about it.  Being active is actually a quality of a great student, but too many active students find themselves underperforming.  Being creative is another quality of great students, but too many creative dudes end up missing their academic goals.
•  Why?
• Perhaps guys are just worse at school than other groups (we’re not convinced) — or perhaps your son just needs to learn how to use his strengths to maximize his grades.
