Key middle school teacher: The difference between top achievers and average students is not at all in IQ level, but in these three points, top achievers perform too well!

A teacher from a key middle school made a comparison between top students and average students. He said that the difference between a top student and an average student is never about IQ level, but the following three points. Point 1: The level of willpower. Willpower plays a very important role in the learning process. When a child is working on a difficult problem and still can\’t solve it after thinking hard, at this time, the child\’s brain power has reached a bottleneck. Faced with this situation, children with strong willpower (most of them are academic masters) can often face difficulties and continue to burn their brains. They can spend an hour or two, or even longer, thinking over and over again and trying every possible means. Go to hell. Even if they fail to solve the problem completely in the end, this kind of long-lasting mental training will inevitably improve their thinking ability over time, making them more and more comfortable in learning. A common problem among middle-level students is that they only scratch the surface. They only need to think about a question for 3-5 minutes, or ten or twenty minutes, and if they still can\’t figure it out, they will give up and look up the answer directly. They can\’t bear the pain of thinking. If things go on like this, the gap between their brainpower and academic masters will become wider and wider. When encountering learning difficulties, whether you can persevere and rise to the challenge is the most essential difference between an average student and a top student. The best way to improve willpower is to allow children to continue physical exercise and insist on at least one sport, such as running. If the child can persist in this sport every day, his willpower level will not be too bad. Point 2: Whether to listen to the teacher. Most of the middle school students are \”good\” students. They listen to the teacher very much and do whatever the teacher says. They lack independent ideas of their own. If the teacher you meet is good enough, understands the rules of education, and can teach efficient learning methods, then of course it is good. If the teacher you encounter is not competent enough, the child will easily be led astray. On the other hand, most of the top-achieving children don’t really listen to their teachers. They will selectively adopt them based on their actual situation, and slowly find a learning model that suits them. For different learning tasks, such as previewing, reviewing, sorting out wrong questions, and sorting out the knowledge system through mind mapping, each task is a small system with different work processes. After children find the most efficient process through continuous trial and optimization in the early stage, they can follow this process in the future. They don\’t have to think about what to do first and what to do next every time they get a task. Learning will be more efficient. Children must take the initiative in learning, not blindly follow, and always have their own independent thoughts. Parents can debate with their children more often, discuss their views on social life, etc., and guide their children to ask questions and think diligently. Point 3: Whether to focus on depth of knowledge. Middle school students are more superstitious about making up lessons, learning ahead of time and answering questions. These learning methods essentially focus on the breadth of knowledge, and the level of thinking is relatively low. This easily leads to a problem: you can do the questions that the teacher said you have done before, but you can no longer do it when the questions change. Children who excel in academics are different. They may not necessarily learn quickly, but they must learn deeply and know what is happening and why. They can not only understand basic formulas, theorems, and concepts, understand the motifs thoroughly, but also give examplesBy drawing inferences from one instance to another, they can successfully solve the questions even if they encounter questions they have never seen before in the examination room. This is because all difficult problems are actually composed of countless simple knowledge superpositions. Academic masters have mastered the internal connections of knowledge and can quickly dismantle difficult problems, reduce them into several simple pieces of knowledge, and then solve them one by one. Today\’s high school and college entrance examination questions are becoming more and more flexible, especially in the college entrance examination every year, there will be some innovative questions. These questions must be ones that the children have never seen before. If the children do not understand the knowledge thoroughly, then even if they have dozens or hundreds of tricks in their minds, they will not know which one to use. Only those children with deep thinking can find tricks, turn complex problems into simple ones, and overcome difficult problems.
