and a teacher, as well as between students.

always scheduled and properly carried out. Students always
have schedules of their lectures and tests. Due to this,
students become more disciplined.

they get relief from tense study year. Such activities are
exceptionally useful as they help students have fun and enjoy
their free time together.

with students, proceeds with discussions between the
teacher and the students and ends with the new information
written in notebooks.

student, traditional schools offer structure and
routine to students who appreciate and need
more guidance.
DISADVANTAGES OF TRADITIONAL
EDUCATION:
Too Much Focus on Presentation, Little Time Left for
Practice:
- Since an instructor needs to convey a fixed number of
ideas inside a restricted time, most classroom exercises are
gotten the job done to the introduction arrange as it were.
Practice is left for the understudy to do as homework.
Students’ Dependence on Teachers

study related matter. Such dependence suppresses students’
creativity so that many of them never get to know their
strengths.
Favoritism

have a negative effect on the left out students, who may
feel incompetent. Because of such an attitude, other
students start experiencing inferior feelings.
Negative Groups

groups which often destroy academic performance and
students’ personalities. Unfortunately, such factors are often
nurturing without being noticed.
Extracurricular Activities Distort StudentsMany professors
tend to demonstrate favoritism that can have a negative
effect on the left out students, who may feel incompetent.
Because of such an attitude, other students start
experiencing inferior feelings.
Negative Groups

students experience difficulties in focusing on the studies as
they are too excited about the things which may affect their
educational performance. For some students, it is
complicated to keep the balance between education and
extracurriculars.

textbooks and other school things are quite
