Not all of us were lucky to have an education. More people out there grew up without a background like that because those people were unlucky to be penniless. They could not afford the money to for schooling, in turn making them unfortunately illiterate. That will never be their fault unless they preferred it that way. This is Literacy Volunteering Opportunities In Eastside Detroit.
Sadly, there ARE people out there who did not have much of a chance to be learning how to write or read. Unlike some of us, they just did not have the finances for it. It would do a lot of us some good to teach them ourselves without asking for anything back. Just the heart put into this would be enough.
That does not mean they cannot be taught though. They still can although it might be a bit harder. Those with teaching experiences can understand that teaching older people is a bit harder because they have grown to develop pride and may get a bit hurt when teachers tell them they are doing something wrong.
Unlike adults whose minds have developed enough to build barriers against new things to absorb. Then again, children can be difficult too, since they have the attention span of squirrels most of the time. You can rarely find a child actually willing to learn and be attentive. Still, teachers were made to need patience so it should not be so hard.
The job of the student is to learn. And while it may seem like what they do is easy since all they do is take in and absorb, hence learning, that actually is a lot of pressure for them. It actually is not easy to forcefully adapt your brain into something completely new. Kids may try their best but all is the same for everyone who has a brain.
Speaking of a different language, think about how hard that is for the students. While fun, that will most likely be hard because they are so used to the fundamentals of their own native language. Changing it to incorporate the new language right into their brains is going to confuse the cells for a while.
But after that, they can get it. As long as they keep using the language and listen carefully to this particular native way of speaking, they can become bilingual. Same with writing and reading because all it takes is some getting used to. It applies to those who want to hone a talent.
Now imagine them trying to write. Assuming reading was up there first and they have achieved that. While that makes it easier for them to learn writing, their fingers are still not likely adept in movements that require to write. It literally is the same as if a human suddenly grew a tail. You cannot expect him to start moving it around expertly.
It could be frustrating for the teachers. It actually is ALWAYS frustrating. At times they get mad even though should not but they just simply could not help it.
