Why are we blamed for forgetting?

Question

Why are we blamed for forgetting things when we have tried our best to remember?

It is no good assuming that people have not tried to remember because you cannot prove that, and everyone has a right to fair trail and so we have to prove it.

Have you ever had your teacher moan because you forgot to get your PE kit?
You tried to remember, but saying this to the teacher just doesn't cut it.

Tell me how a teacher can be right dispite this? and why.

This is something that I have been trying to figure out for ages. I really need an honest answer. Is it because they want to take out thier frustration on the kids or something else?

I would like a very indepth and conscise or scientific answer.

Answer 1

we are blamed for forgetting because when you forget something, people see it as a sign that they aren't important to you and other stuff along that line.

the teacher thing, bad teachers get angry when you forget, good teachers will help you if you put forth the effort

Answer 2

Listen to what the guy ahead of me said. When you forget, it indicates you didn't value them by not going to the effort to remember. Yes, there's effort involved.

I work with children who have ADD meaning they have attention deficit disorder. Whether you have it or not is not for me to say and it's certianly no good reason to get out of what you are accountable for. But how we deal with ADD could help you.
Many people's minds are moving so fast that memories don't stick like they do with others. You'll have to compensate to overcome this problem. You are still accountable for what you forgot just like you're accountable for the speed limit even when you've forgotten you're in a slower area. The cop, the judge, your parents....they don't care that you forgot. It's your responsibility anyway.

IT'S ABSOLUTELY UP TO YOU TO REMEMBER or you will suffer the consequences - as you've seen in PE class. What happens if a mother forgets her child has a special dinner at school that day and misses it. Do the consequences go away? Does the child not feel disappointed? The kid can forgive the mother but he's still going to feel sad about it. You can't do away with the consequences.

So.....when you know you're hearing something you'll need to remember, you've got to try to make a connection with the memory to help jog your memory.
Repeat the phrase in your head visuallizing each word.
Write it down RIGHT THEN on something that you keep with you (a checkbook, a cell phone alarm, a purse memo pad, etc.).
Make a connection to the day something's going to happen and rehearse what that day will be like in your head to repeat to yourself all the plans and expectations of the day ahead.

Good luck with your memory. It's a trial and error thing until you figure out what works for you. But you are still accountable for 'it' whether you forget it or not.

Answer 3

Perhaps you're not getting enough sleep. Memory can be affected by lack of sleep. The brain needs the rest to process information.

Answer 4

Because we all have access to pen and paper and therefore could of written numerous notes reminding ourselves what to do and where to go.

Simply forgetting doesn't cut it any more !
