Importance of More or Less Terms in Student’s Life

Image
  I've often heard more or less used as a term to describe a similarity between two items. That is a waste of terminology. More is more when comparing mass, weight, capacity and volume, while less indicates that what once was, is no more. In other words, something has shrunk. These words are about comparison, and when working with matter, a comparison is a good and valuable tool. However, when applied to people, it can be divisive and unhelpful.

What is the difference between the two? What is the relevance of these questions to parents and tutors alike? A glance at the dictionary provides a vast array of possible meanings and use for the word mind. Generally, it means the human ability to think, perceive, feel, reason, or desire and act upon those thoughts. It includes focus, mental health, intention and reliability of action. Hence its importance in education and learning. When starting on a learning journey, we need to pay attention to what is happening around us. Our mind receives all the information, but it is more than just our brain at work. There’s something about humans that enables us to use incoming information to change our situation or environment.
