Classroom Difficulties (Part 4: Classroom Observation)

By

A teacher may notify a parent that there are issues a student needs to address in the classroom. This could include lack of focus, silliness or emotional distress. Sometimes the teacher may be right as there could be classroom bullies or the teacher themselves may be causing problems for your student. In order to find out the exact cause of your student’s problems, a classroom observation by someone other than the teacher is important. Students can benefit from being closely observed in the classroom due to the information collected that would otherwise remain unknown. One important thing to remember is that the teacher must never be allowed to do this observation.

Why can’t the teacher be allowed to conduct the observation? There are two reasons why. Can you guess? Check back tomorrow for the surprising answers!

PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES

 

We had first engaged Y3K Tutor In Your Home five years ago, when our son rose at 1:00 AM one night and said he’d felt as if he were “drowning in school”. This is despite the excellent LD assistance provided in his middle school. During their first meeting, I could hear my shy son actually giggling with the tutor and his confidence, outlook, and grades all began to shift seismically.

Today, that frightened little boy is a confident and fully engaged student who graduated high school this past spring and on the honor roll. As he and his tutor have built a wonderful relationship of trust and friendship, we intend this relationship to continue through college. In my estimation, our son’s Y3K Tutor In Your Home tutor is an outstanding educator who meets students where they are, so as to get them to where they dream of being.

Back-To-School Shoe / Sneaker Shopping Tips

By

Here are some important tips when back-to-school shoe/sneaker shopping:

 

1.  Have your kids try on shoes at the end of the day or after a workout when feet are swelled.

2.  There must be at least a half-inch of space between the longest toe and the tip of the shoes. Make sure there is plenty of room to wiggle the toes inside each shoe.

3.  Always lace the shoes when trying them on.

4.  When trying on shoes, have your student wear the type of socks they would normally be wearing.

5.  Walk and run in the shoes on different surfaces like tile or carpet to make sure they are comfortable. They should not require breaking in.
