Russian Expert Recommends Schools Not To Teach Maths or Physics on Thursdays

A chief sanitary doctor from Russia has recommended schools to refrain from teaching difficult subjects like mathematics and physics to children on Thursdays because it was "the hardest day of the week".

"Children have their own bio-rhythms and Thursday is the hardest day of the week," RIA Novosti quoted Gennady Onishchenko as telling the Ekho Moskvy radio station in an interview.

Dyscalculia / Learning Disabilities - Mathematics
Dyscalculia is a learning disability involving mathematics. Recognized by The WHO, it affects nearly 4 – 7% of the world population. If you have dyscalculia it tends to affect every aspect of your life.

"Therefore, it is not recommended to teach difficult subjects like mathematics and physics on Thursdays because those subjects require a heavier load on the brain," he said.

The doctor said there are special conditions in school scheduling and that parents should know about them. Parents should also take a more active role in curriculum planning to cut down on excessive mental load on children.
