Please help me read to the end as it is a little longer.
My junior brother is 14 years old and to be sincere I haven’t seen anybody as dull as him.
I don’t know if it is natural but I just can’t understand why someone at that age could still be struggling with very simple arithmetic. My brother can’t write 1 – 150 correctly at 14.
He seems too dull; note he attends one of the best private school around our area, though I know you might say maybe education is not his way but even if you want to drop out from school you should know some basic things like money, time, multiplication and so on but my brother doesn’t know anything I must say, even to write his name correctly is a problem. It is making everyone unhappy a lot of money is being spent on lesson teachers and other things for him still no improvement.
I am a student of one of the top federal universities in Nigeria the same as my other siblings even at both secondary and undergraduate levels we were always above average, so I can’t say his problem is genetic.
I really want to know what is the problem with him. After I finished secondary school I once taught some pupils in primary school though there were dull ones too there but with time I could see improvement unlike my brother i always try to teach him from time to time but it kind of frustrating as he doesn’t even seem like he will ever grab anything and he doesn’t behave like he wants to learn anything.
He makes it seems as if he is not interested in book or arithmetic at all …we all tried talking to him endless time to always read any time he is less busy, but he never does except he is being forced.
He rarely talks, he loves to keep to himself always, he doesn’t have interest in anything unlike we the others that are die-hard football fans, most times my mom will tell him to even go out to play and mingle he will not still want to go, he prefers to stay at home seating all day without reading or doing anything, even if it is to draw or play football he won’t.
This matter is not making everyone happy at home we don’t even know the solution to his problem again, as in imagine having a child that is 14 years old that doesn’t know the difference between 17 and 71 it is just so bad.
We don’t know if his case is mental or spiritual.
Please readers I know there are child experts in the house or anybody who have experienced something like this before. What do you think is the problem and possible solutions to the problem. Your contributions are welcome.
