Indeed school should be the place for teaching students about the
practical application of the lessons they've previously read on their
books. Once the students read their lessons on their books, then the
next day of classes the students will be very confident to raise their
hands because they already read about today's lessons. With a bit of
discussion with the teacher and raising of hands to answer on the
blackboard, after that the teacher can then proceed to demonstrating
the practical real world application of their lessons that they already
read on their books making it fun for students doing practical real
world exercises inside the classroom. And when the students arrive
home, their interest with today's lessons is still warm and they will
re-read their books on that particular lesson again. Again emphasis on
improving students' book reading comprehension ability is very
important as with improving teachers' teaching skills and increasing
funding for education supplies and facilities.
