ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL... Whenever I go around the shopping malls in Asia I am always intrigued as to how many people readily accept that that the blouse or tshirt they want to fit is not in a graded size or even makes any attempt to fit their shape. It is not remotely customised to the individual, it simply states one size fits all! And people buy it! They then try to convince themselves that they at a size zero and their friend at size 12 will both look appropriate and elegant in the same top that actually is made for a mythical average size that is not defined. Ridiculous!
Unfortunately that's just how much of modern day education in many schools still is...it is based on the principle that regarding the curriculum being taught and the methods used, one size fits all. It is not customised, it is not adjusted to the needs of the child. At the best international schools the child is not made to fit the curriculum, the curriculum is made to fit the child. Teachers understand the concept of multiple intelligence, differentiation and teaching each child from where they are in the learning process, what they know, understand and can do. And from there they plan for each child's next learning step. Each child is understood and valued as an individual. When you consider schools for your child ask the Principal if they have a "one size fits all" approach to learning.You might be surprised at the response!
