Achievement
Emphasis May
Hurt Children
Prof. Woody Warns
Teachers, Parents
Too much emphasis on achieve-
ment and failure may be injurious
to children, according to Prof.
Cliffcrd Woody, of the education
school.
"Teachers and parents should
avoid having so much concern
about the level of the child's
achievement that it causes the
child to become depressed and to
desire to free himself from home
and school relationships," he com-
mented in an education school lec-
ture yesterday.
He called attention to the per-
sonal relationship between the
pupil and the teacher and em-
phasized the concern for achieve-
ment that is characteristic of the
normal child.
Opposite Factor
"Over-anxiety on the part of
parents is one factor which makes
many children unhappy, however
he suggested that parents having
no concern about the child's level
of achievement are more injuri-
ous to the child's development
than those that show over-anx-
iety."
"Poor achievement may be the
reflection of poor personality ad-
justment in the home or commu-
nity," he said.
Manifestation
Maladjustment, socially, may
manifest itself in the lack of op-
portunity to escape the school sit-
uation, whereas there is some es-
cape from the home problem for
the child, according to Prof.
Moody.
Pointing out that the normal
child is constantly faced with dif-
ficult tasks involving the possibil-
ity of failure, Prof. Woody de-
clared that the very preseence of
these difficulties frequently pro-
vides a great stimulus to the child
and to his personality develop-
ment.
