Owning Your Learning: Personal Responsibility in Learning
Who holds the most responsibility for learning? Is it the Teacher, who is to instruct the student; helping them understand new content? Is it the Parent, who is to demonstrate the value of learning and create an environment in which their student can learn? Or does the responsibility fall most on the student themselves?
The truth is there is responsibility for all these people but if the student is unwilling to take responsibility for their education then there will be very little academic and intellectual growth.
