Learning for fun
Learning is fun. Hardcore is academics is boring, though. Along with lessons in Math, Science and Social Studies, it should be interesting to learn creative arts such as painting, photography, clay modeling, Japanese paper art known as Ikebana, to mention a few. These lessons can beat the stress of learning heavy stuff and can relax a person while he or she is absorbed in letting the imagination take wings and exercise the psychomotor function that is most often dormant while studying academic subjects. An added advantage is that the finished product—be it a fabric painting, glass painting, a flower arrangement or a clay model can be displayed for the viewing pleasure of others.
