Into the book
We need to understand our children's school life well.
It's not that we don't trust public education, but because the time our children spend in school is more important than ever.
Our slow children are not easily able to grow on their own by simply outsourcing their education to schools.
You need individualized support that is tailored to your own pace and has a clear direction.

---From "Why should we know about the school life of slow learners?"

Slow children are generally more sensitive to rejection.
Starting with seating arrangements, group activities, breaks, and special activities, there is a need for time to build various relationships within the school.
At times like these, experiences of not being able to socialize with friends and being rejected suddenly surface, preventing you from trying new things.
Negative feedback from mistakes can further agitate your mental health.
Eventually, the fear of rejection leads to a decline in self-esteem, which in turn leads to relationship difficulties, starting a vicious cycle.

---From "The Inside Story of Our Children Who Have Difficult School Life"

Eunsu decided to pursue her dream of becoming a baker after taking a baking class at a local children's center by chance.
The experience of kneading flour and adding Easter eggs on my own made my child's eyes light up.
The bread Eunsu makes is delicious.
Of course, the bread tasted good, but I think it was the bright smile of someone who discovered their dream that made the bread taste even better.

Don't be disappointed if you answer that you don't have a dream right now.
Instead, offer them opportunities to explore a variety of experiences and careers, and then ask them, "What do you enjoy doing? What kind of work do you want to do?"
When a child answers, “I have a dream!”, you express happiness as if you have everything in the world.

---From "The Inner Thoughts of Our Children Who Want to Do Well at School"

Mathematics is fundamentally a hierarchical curriculum.
Because of this, if the foundation is not properly laid, it is difficult to move on to the next step.
As time goes by, the gap widens, and eventually, many children end up becoming math dropouts (children who give up on math).
That's why, more than anything, we need to solidify our foundation in basic math concepts and make learning math a little more comfortable.

---From the "Elementary School Curriculum Study Guide"

The learning switch of our slow children turns on when familiar curriculum content appears.
When new material is presented, children of the same age are curious and focused, but slow learners need a warm-up period.
I have a hard time learning new things because it is difficult to accurately grasp the conceptual vocabulary used in class.

---From "Middle School Curriculum Learning Guide"

Rather than approaching sex education through assumptions based on crisis situations, we recommend guiding students to express their sexual self-determination.
You should teach them the proper way to express interest in a friend of the opposite sex, the etiquette they should follow when interacting with them, and it would be good to also explain, with examples, how to moderate this interest.

---From "Real Solutions for Middle School Parents' Real Concerns"

Students who are eligible for special education and have graduated from high school can apply for the major.
Each school posts a recruitment notice every October. In Gyeonggi Province, where I belong, the two-year major courses take the exam on the same day, and then the one-year major courses open their application process.
Please note that this may vary by region.
The typical content is not limited to subjects like college entrance exams, but includes evaluation criteria for various areas such as physical strength, social skills, and job skills, so you need to prepare for this separately.
If you prepare for high school life by focusing on your child's ability to live independently, it is very possible.

Publisher's Review
School life of slow learners from elementary to middle school to high school
“Please respect the children’s pace.”


6 years of elementary school, 3 years of middle school, and 3 years of high school.
Children spend at least 12 years in a space called school.
Students are required to attend school five days a week, spend at least six hours a day at school, and learn core competencies related to their academics and career paths.
School is also a place to learn about life.
By building relationships with friends and learning how to live with adults, including teachers.
So we must understand the school life of slow learners.
Because the speed of learning cannot limit life experience.

Slow learners may not achieve satisfactory results within a standardized track, but they will show significant growth in an environment where they are respected and encouraged to learn at their own pace.
Although there is a lack of social awareness and understanding of children with borderline intelligence, if we fully understand school life and allow our children to progress at their own pace, our children's education can be conducted safely at school.

The expertise of a special education teacher with 14 years of experience
Mindset as a Parent of a Child with Borderline Intelligence.
“What children with borderline intelligence will face while attending school
“We will address issues at each stage of life.”


Life as a parent of a slow learner begins when you recognize and acknowledge that your child is a slow learner.
You must overcome your worries, fears, and guilt about your child's future and prepare for the 12-year marathon with your child.
It starts with an interest in school life.

According to a survey by the National Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation, the driving force behind the growth of underachieving children is attention at home, teachers' unwavering guidance, and relationships with friends.
It is important for parents, teachers, and friends to understand slow learners and provide appropriate support.
Let's understand the characteristics of children who have difficulty with concentration, memory, and cognitive processing, and identify which areas the child is having difficulty with.
Repeated failures can leave you feeling helpless, and you may have trouble expressing your emotions, which can lead to difficulties in making friends.
If we check on the child's condition and provide appropriate feedback, even slow learners can find meaning in going to school, their strengths, and their dreams.

The elements that need to be supported for each life cycle and the school life goals that a child must have are explained by dividing them into elementary school, middle school, and high school.
Let's check out how to prepare for admission and the general framework and guidelines for learning the subject.


[Elementary School Life] Focus should be on basic life skills and learning psychology.
You should use the preliminary assembly day to get to know various parts of the school in advance and learn the details of school life, such as how to use the restroom.
It is also important during this period to make learning a fun experience for the child.

[Middle School Life] We must begin by understanding the flexible semester system, which provides opportunities for slow learners.
We need to teach them that they are given more freedom than they did in elementary school, along with the responsibility that comes with it, and help them learn by identifying their characteristics and strengths.
Also, it is important to never give up on middle school curriculum learning because many of the things learned can be applied to real life.

[High School Life] It is important to decide which high school to attend, and if you choose to attend a regular high school, to understand the upcoming high school credit system.
As a step before going out into society, we must focus on developing children's capabilities to live independently.

The book also addresses the concerns of many parents during this time and provides tips to enrich your child's school life.
It answers the real-world concerns of parents of slow learners, such as whether it is better to delay the school entry of a child with developmental delay, how to help a child's friendships, how to deal with crisis situations such as school violence, what to do about game addiction or sex education, and what majors should a child have and whether they can send their child to college.
