BY A SLOW LEARNER

A SLOW LEARNER SAID:

Why so many silent alphabets in english words, like in -

BRIDGE; BOAT; BOMB; COMB; DEPOT; DEBT; 
DAUGHTER; HIGH; KNIFE; KNEE; KNOWLEDGE; KNIGHT; KNOW; OFTEN; PSYCHOLOGY; PRONOUNCIATION; PEOPLE; SCHOOL; SIGN; WATCH; WRITE etc .....

Why same alphabet should be pronounced in different manner, like in - 
BUT     PUT  CUT;
BALL    BALE;
BOTH    BOTHER;  
BUS     BUSH; 
BOMB    BORE; 
BIT     BITE;
CAR     CARE;    

COME    CONE; 

COME    COMB;

CAME    CAT;

COLE    COAL;
CUT     CUTE;
DON     DONE;

EAR     EARN;
FAR     FARE;
FAT     FATE;
FILM    FINE     FILL   FIRST  FIST;
FOR     FORCE; 
GOT     GOAT;
HER     HERE;
HUG     HUMOUR;
HOP     HOPE;
KITE    KING    KILL   KISS  KIND; 
KEEN    KEPT; 
MOVE    MOTION;
MAT     MATE;
NO      NONE; 
NOT     NOTE;
PIN     PINE;
POLE    POOL; 
RID     RIDE;
READ    READ [pastence;]
READ    READY;
RAT     RATE;
STATE   STAR  SAME  SAM;
SON     SOAP;
SPIN    SPINE; 
SO      SONG     SOON;
SIT     SITE; 
TON     TONE;
TRACE   TRACK;
TWO          TWIN;
TAP     TAPE;
TUB     TUBE;

US      USE          etc....

Why the pronounciation is similar in some words with different alphabets and meanings, like in - 


ARE - OR
BEEN - BEAN
BY - BYE - BUY
BREAK  - BRAKE
EYES - ICEFOR - FUR
FARM  - FORM 
GREAT - GRATE
HERE - HEAR
I -EYE
KNEW - NEW
LIGHT  - LITE
LIVE - LEAVE
MEAT - MEET
NO - KNOW
NIGHT - KNIGHT
OUR - HOUR
OF - OFF
PEER - PEAR
PEAK - PEEK
RIGHT - WRITE
SIGHT - SITE - CITE
SEA - SEE
SENT - CENT
SON - SUN
STEEL  - STEAL
SO   -  SOW
SUM  -   SOME
THOUGH - TOUGH
TO - TWO
TIRE -  TYRE
WEAR - WHERE
WHOLE - HOLE
WEIGHT  - WAIT
WHOLE -  HOLE 
WEEK - WEAK 
YOU - U                  etc.....

This really troubles me.

special education needs

http://www.samveda.org/helping-children.html

SAMVEDA takes up the responsibility of training and rehabilitating 50 children with Special Educational Needs annually.
These children are screened through tests conducted by experienced Clinical Psychologists and are classified as:
- Children to continue education in regular schools and
- Children who can't continue education in regular schools

Children under the first category, who are under performers at School are given full time training for a definite period and are sent back to the regular School. Some times, they are prepared for 'Public Examinations (VII & X grades)' to appear as private candidates.

Children who cannot continue education in regular Schools are trained for 'Life' through vocational training programmes. The teaching and training methods are designed in accordance with a "Code of Practice" which is in concurrence to the prevailing Educational System.

Alternative school at Bangalore

The intent of the school is to explore a totally different kind of education which creates the freedom to bring about clarity in the mind.

This school is not a place where the child is being trained to fit into particular social strata. Nor is it a place where one can seek security through conformity to the aims and ambitions of society. It is not a place merely to help a slow learner or a child with learning or behavioural difficulties to adapt to the system. Nor is it for a gifted child to focus only on a particular talent at the expense of the whole human being.

Montessori way of education

http://www.montessori-india.org/

This is the website of Indian Montessori Foundation (IMF), an organisation affiliated to Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), the organisation set up by Dr. Maria Montessori in 1929 to ensure that her work would be faithfully reproduced. The website aims to provide information related to various aspects of Montessori Education in India including training courses approved by AMI, membership to AMI and schools (based on a nationwide census).

A school often called a Montessori school when it is associated with young children or when it uses some of the Montessori materials but may not apply the principles of Montessori education.

The website gives the list of schools in India and some major city-wise.

Aarohi Life Education an Alternate System of Education

http://geniekids.com/

Aarohi Life Education vision is to offer an environment and process that empowers children to learn on their own, all they need & want to learn for living their life, both now and in future.

Innovation in education cannot be achieved by tinkering the current system. It can only be achieved by offering an alternate system – a system which is true to the child and to the objective of education. A system which does not target the next exam or the next college rather it empowers children into adults who can think, lead and enjoy their life to fullest potential.

If you are looking at a school that values the learner more than the learning; that values the process more than the results, that is based on children creating their own learning rather than us teaching them, and that is about living life - now and in future - then explore more:

The School is currently for children 5.5 years to upto 10th Standard. A child can join at any age and at any time of the year (only subject to space availability).

Griha Shiksha

Griha Shiksha aims to provide learning for the primary years of schooling to children of professionals serving in rural areas and those in urban areas who desire an alternative form of education.

This is done by supporting parents/adults to nurture their children before they join either a boarding or other formal school.

Initially Griha Shiksha met the needs of the lower age group - LKG and UKG; later it extended its curriculum to Class 4.

A manual for different classes will be provided which gives the guidance on various aspects of teaching the child and an understanding of the child’s learning styles.  A Study plan offering a weekly plan for 9 months for each subject you need to teach with tips on how to teach them.
