Why Smart Kids Cannot Learn ?

There is a positive relationship between intelligence and learning. But the factor that makes learning difficult to smart children is that parents and teachers always praise the intelligence of children.

Ege is 9 years old and too intelligence. He likes the jobs which makes the best and he always want to make these jobs. But, asking guestions in a field that is foreign to him or giving a new tasks to him make Ege reluctant. When he is a little difficult, he needs to say that i have a degree in painting lesson.

The War of Seem Intelligence
Ege is seem intelligence by his family so if he fails, he thinks that he is seem stupid by others. For this reason, he avoids difficult tasks. The reason of mentioning the degree of painting lesson is that he don't want to be seem stupid.

Image is Everything
Children who is vaunted because of their intelligence is generally less disciplined. They try to give the image of being succesfull without working. Keeping the image of intelligence is more important than learning. They are forced to ask questions.

The Difficult of Learnin New Tasks
Learning new something requires asking guestions, making trial and error. But, the smart kids avoid from new tasks.They do not take risk so they cannot develop methods to cope with failure.

What Are The Alternatives?
I think, the alternative is that families and teachers should underline the works and efforts of children, not the inteligence of children. Children should enjoy learning. A child who learnt the learning become more succesfull.
