Is your child a genius?
All parents want the best for their kids. Just look at Baby Einstein. From the moment our little angels utter their first syllables, we’re all sure they’re geniuses. We start wondering what schools to send them to and what grade point average they’ll graduate from Harvard with. Most of our children end up attending some series of public, or possibly private, schools in which even the most dedicated pupils will probably struggle to learn.
Why you ask?
Sound masking
Many people assume it’s poor curriculum or less than passionate teachers. Others assume it’s inherent in the system. That may all be true, in part or whole, but often there’s an even subtler problem that distracts many students every day. That problem is noise. Unfortunately, the quiet game isn’t possible at a junior high or high school level. However, there is a simple solution: sound masking. Sound masking is the use of low-level background noise to cover louder, more distracting sounds, such as rambuctious kids or even teachers in adjacent classrooms.
I can't remember the last time I saw a classroom like this. And I was a good teacher.
Imagine that one class is taking a test, a test that will determine their final grade in a class they’ve invested a semester into. Now imagine that the class next door took their test yesterday and are now playing a distracting game of Mafia. How focused on the test is your child? Besides checking that teacher’s lesson’s plans, another option would be sound masking. With sound masking, just enough background sound the human brain can tune out even the worst of distractions.
Freeing up your child’s brain can go a long way in helping him or her succeed in school. Isn’t it nice to know that there is a simple way to do just that?
