INTRODUCTION:

“If the child does not learn the way you teach, then you must teach the way he learns.”

Teachers perspective:-

A new school year usually means working with a new teacher. Some teachers provide accommodations
only grudgingly, while others have gone beyond the mandated accommodations and experiment with
additional classroom strategies. Some teachers only using the method that have helped them learn,
while others are open to learning alternative methods from their students. Some teachers are quite
sensitive to parents struggles with learning issues while others are indifferent at best. Consider the
following teacher response when asked about their help provided to a student.

“ Rahul needs to express himself more fully and answer directly the questions are as a topic. His
oral performance have been outstanding dash serious, well thought out and obviously well prepared. He
is receiving extra help on basis grammar and vocabulary, and should practice writing skills daily. Parents
are advised of reading assignments ahead of time in ordered your order of the books food store
preferred seating and modification expectations in writing work provided better classroom support.”

“ Rahul is not required to answer the essay questions that are too abstract for his skills. He does
fine on the rest of the work. He need to continue to have help with concept formation and higher level
thinking skills.”
 “ Not really needed. He needs to study for test and take responsibility of his learning.”

Try to work with your child teachers. Learning is more than the three hours of reading, remembering,
and regurgitating. accommodating students with learning disability is too often interpreted as
compromised educational standard instead of universal access and multiple intelligence. Call the special
educator call my school administrative outside expert if you need help working with an instructor you
might ask yourself did a certain teacher is more of a consumer - judging per performance as reflection of
efforts and interest -or a facilitator -guarding the process for better learning and execution. You may find
that tougher or negative expectations with the former than the discussion successful approach with the
latter.

Parents perspective

Learning takes place with both the necessary cooperation between teachers, parents and the
community. In educational and school improvement aspect, the parent’s role is a significant factor [1]–
[3]. The role of parents in the study include many aspects [4]. The first aspect is parenting that parents
are responsible for implementing education. The second aspect is communicating is active
communication between parent and educator / school. The third aspect is volunteering i.e. parents
contribute time, energy, thoughts, and other resources to support the school program. The fourth is
learning at home is to guide students when studying at home. The fifth is decision making of actively
parents involved in decision-making, activities, and school policies. The last is collaborating with the
community is a form of parental involvement in the community in order to promote education. Parental
participation in learning is not just sending their children to school and pay dues, but more in a sense of
responsibility towards educational success. Teachers can ask the help of parents to help their children
complete homework, watching television schedule, and motivate children to learn [5], [6]. Through the
improvement of teaching in schools, teachers and parents need a container as a communication vehicle
that can bridge the learning needs of learners. Based on this view also there is a breakthrough that leads
to a pattern of cooperation between parents and teachers in dealing with learning difficulties students
to enhance learning, so that the success achieved is the result of a harmonious blend between parents
and teachers. Based on the description of the above problems, i see the importance of efforts involving
the parent role, communities and teachers to the success of children in school either directly or
indirectly

II. SOME PERSPECTIVES

A. Cooperation of parents and teachers

First,

Family and school cooperation carried out in several activities, among others: (1) Hold a meeting
with parents on a new admission. (2) Conducting correspondence between school and family. (3) The
report on the study of students to parents. (4) Visit a home scholing parent or parents to visit the school.
(5) Hold a celebration, a party school, or exhibition of the work of learners. (6) Establish associations of
parents of learners and teachers [7], [8]. The communication patterns of parents and children in family
education [9]. He talks about parents, children, and education in the family that includes the family as an
institution, family functioning, family and educational values,

parenting parents in the family, the responsibility of parents in educating children, as well as some
mistakes in the family education

B. The student learning difficulties

Learning difficulties is a condition in which the students cannot learn naturally, due to the
threats, obstacles or impairments of learning.
Learning disabilities and intelligence are separate issues although they affect one another. 1/3 of
student identify as having learning disability also have gifted intelligence full stock gifted
students with learning disabilities have been called the twice extensional and are often
paradoxes to observers. These students may.
 Manipulate complex concepts like a calculus but can't recall simple isolate fat like
arithmetic.
 have superior abilities in identifying underlying patterns and integrating them into global
concepts and ideas, but cannot organize their ideas into a linear presentations to
another.
 have high creative potential but low academic success, resulting in a more frustrations, a
poor sense of competency, and a greater tendency toward a misbehavior and vagueness
for past insert that observed in non gifted student with a learning disability.
 have excellent oral abilities but poor reading writing and spelling skills. Charles Schwab,
founder of the first discount broke rich firm and a nonprofit parent Information Center,
has reading disability in an interview he explained how different kind of things lead to
different type of approaches to problem, in my case I knew I wasn't that smart in English
anyway but I'm always felt that I had very strong conceptual capabilities. I could imagine
things much faster than some other people who were sucked thinking sequentially. That
help me in solving complicated business problem. I could visualize how things would
look at the end of the tunnel.

III. RESEARCH METHOD

This study is a survey with a quota sample of 31 in the 5th grade students as respondents from 50
total students. To them I did interview and with questionnaires as data collection techniques. Then the
data analyzed and linked up to the conclusion.

IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

A. Difficulties of student learning and the factors that influence.

In this study, learning difficulties experienced by students based on observations in the
classroom, among others: difficulty concentrating in understanding the material explanation of
teachers, difficulty in answering the teacher, the difficulty being quiet in class and tend to cause
noise. The above conditions can handled temporarily by considering that theoretically could
affect learning difficulties. These factors are internal factors - mental and students' minds - and
external factors involving social environment, family, teachers, and school.

difficulties is family factors, environmental factors, school factors, teacher factors, and factors of
learning burnout or mental fatigue. Enterprises parents in overcoming learning difficulties
students are: (1) Providing guidance, (2) The provision of advice, (3) Supervision of learning, (4)
Provision of motivation and reward, and (5) Meeting the learning needs; Enterprises teachers
