SOLUTIONS FROM SCHOOL
When parents, teachers and the school work together, solutions can
usually be found in just one or two conferences.
Contact the teacher if you notice consistent errors in one
subject area or if homework is becoming an on-going struggle.
Be prepared to describe the negative behaviors or habits of
your child to the teacher.
Schools have specialist staff (Psychologists, Councillors,
Learning Assistance Teachers, etc.) who
are equipped to provide support and solutions.
If necessary, homework assignments can be modified by the
teacher to help your child stay on a curriculum track and provide him the
opportunity for success.
The success that a child experiences through modification of
assignments helps to promote self-confidence and increase self-esteem.
With specialized help, your child can develop an “I Can”
attitude and as success is achieved the level of expectations can be slowly
increased.
Homework should always be a beneficial exercise – not a make
work project. The material should always
be work that was introduced and explained in class – if your child seems to not
have a clue how to do the work then this is most likely an indication that he
was not paying attention in class or the material is too difficult.
