Help Your Child Succeed in School
Posted November 25th, 2007 by adminThere is a great article on suite 101.com on what you can do to contribute to your child’s success in school. The article outlines ways to offer your assistance to your child’s teacher as a way to ensure success. What a great idea!
As we all know, teachers are quite busy with keeping up with our students during a normal day. If you are able, drop by (call ahead and schedule time, of course) and offer to read to the kids while the teacher grades papers or takes care of school business. Talk with your child’s teacher to determine in what other ways you can help. He or she may even give you homework to help them!
Anytime you are able to provide a thoughtful note or gift, it is always welcome. Let’s face it: teachers are underappreciated. Sometimes a note from a parent who truly appreciates their hard work is enough to add to their motivation to continue to do their job every day. Another way to help is to drop by the principal’s office and commend your child’s teacher. If you believe that your child’s teacher is great, tell them! Then go and tell the principal. Don’t wait until something bad happens to go to the school. Be a constant presence so that your child, your child’s teachers, and the principal know that you are interested in your child’s education.
It takes a village to raise a child. Be a contributing force and add to your child’s success by doing whatever you can to help your child’s teacher. It will pay off!
