Studying For Tests Part 2

Studying For Tests Part 1

Parents Correcting Homework & Teachers

By

In the long run, it is not helpful when parents constantly correct their child’s homework before they turn it in. Correcting your student’s homework gives teachers a false impression and ultimately hurts your child. If everyone’s homework in the class is perfect, the teacher will assume everyone gets the material and will either move on or give a test on the material. Teachers use homework to decide which students need more review, which are ready to move on, and whether the lesson was effective.

Teach Giving Back

By

Demonstrate that giving back is the most important thing one can do. You can teach this with money. If you hand a kid a quarter to drop into the local street corner animal shelter container, they are just delivering YOUR money so nothing is learned. Sometimes kids need to know how it feels to help others with the sacrifice of donating their own money. This also works with donating some holiday and birthday presents and Halloween candy to the sick or poor.

By

It is estimated that only 5 – 10% of kids legitimately hate school. They may not always like the work they must do, but they usually find something about school they enjoy. Usually students enjoy the social camaraderie with their peers. Think back to your school days and usually your best memories are the social interactions you had. It is usually a sign of a much larger problem when a child absolutely hates everything about school. If your child really hates school over a long period of time, it could be because of one of the following reasons to be addressed here over the next 5 Y3K Tutor In Your Home Blog posts.
