Yes if the basics are not right it will surely cause a problem in the later stages of education. Some children are made to just mug up everthing and write it in the exam. They do well but they do not understand anything. Later when the time comes where they need to apply what they had studied earlier they find it really tough to apply logic. They struggle to study and keep up with other children. They also seem to feel rejected and also this can lead to a lot of mental stress.

If your basics wasn't clear you should have approached your teachers. I think part of teaching is finding out if the student understood anything. Didn't your teachers care to see if you were listening by asking questions and giving exams? We've had the internet for so long, you could have studied on your own if you really wanted to excel.

Well yes. i think entire study thingy is stressful... thank god I am out of these ridiculous systems. I believe teaching profession is sometimes kinda Hitlarism. Our kids must not go through such tortur in their life.

yes school life can be very stressful especially if you do not receive the support you need and a good tutor as they can help you a lot, as for my children when they were growing up firstly I taught them to read properly as that is something I was told when I was going to school from a friend who was a school teacher not at my school though, and so I did this to my children and when they finished school they took me out and said, Mum if it wasn't for your teachings in the beginning I would never have passed my exams so well so thanks for being the mother you are!!
