Incomplete – Online Schooling

By

School districts throughout the United States are dealing with two online schooling problems that have them frustrated.  The first problem involves students not completing their work.  They either don’t take their online assignments seriously, don’t have the one-on-one support at home to help them, or find independent computer lessons distracting.  One fix to this problem some schools have been doing is to consider the March – June 2020 semester to be graded as pass/fail only. That way report cards won’t show a major drop in grades from third term to fourth term.  What do you think about this solution?

Check back here for the much larger problem that has school systems scrambling for answers.

 

Executive Function and COVID-19

By

There is a special part of our brain that is responsible for executive function skills.  These skills include our ability to organize, plan ahead, and especially important in this day and age of COVID-19 . . . our ability to sense danger.  The problem is that this all takes place in the prefrontal cortex and this area of the brain does not fully develop until we are well into our 20’s.

Therefore children and teens may not sense COVID-19 danger and choose not to social distance.  It is up to us as responsible parents to monitor and keep our kids safe.  We need to make sure our teens are following social distancing. It is your responsibility as a parent to make sure they follow the rules even when they are out in public places like a field, playground, or hanging out with their friends.

Our Y3K Tutor In Your Home tutor has been terrific for my 7th grader with executive function and decoding issues. He met a boy frustrated about school, quickly established a great rapport and turned him into a boy with some confidence that he could meet the demands of 7th grade. It is an ongoing process.  Our tutor helps each week with organization of materials and assignments and working on homework where a little more explanation is needed.  He has been particularly helpful in helping with writing assignments, getting my son to think through the question, his argument and then really thoroughly explaining and supporting his arguments.  Before he was struggling to write 3 paragraphs, and now he is checking to make sure he has articulated every thought clearly.  Our tutor’s support each week reinforces the lessons and keeps my son on track and organized.  His grades have come up, but most importantly he is confident in himself as a student and is engaging more with teachers during the day.

The owner of Y3K Tutor In Your Home has been a blessing to our family!  A few years back I was having some behavioral issues with my son.  Thanks to his help, the Y3K Tutor In Your Home website was a wealth of information and helped us to get through many rough patches.  He is just a click away for whenever we need help.

I also have a nephew with ADHD, OCD, and other added issues.  The owner is wonderful to work with especially during very intense moments.  I would recommend Y3K Tutor In Your Home in a heartbeat!  His wisdom, knowledge, patience, and follow up has brought much comfort to our family when we were truly feeling hopeless!

Our 10-year-old daughters (identified as having executive function issues) have been working with Y3K Tutor In Your Home once a week for about six months and they are doing extremely well in school this year. In just a short time we have seen great strides made.  We found Y3K after interviewing many tutors and we went with them because our tutor seemed so passionate about educating kids and helping them to achieve.

Our tutor has a nice way about him and is very gifted in communicating with kids.  He highlights the positive in a student’s work and is supportive and encouraging on the areas that need work.  He is also receptive to parent input.  

I highly recommend Y3K Tutor In Your Home. Having this tutor work with our kids has been terrific.
