subject: School Can Be Difficult For Some Children [print this page] School can be difficult for some children. The reasons are varied but the results are the same, self-esteem wilts when children view themselves as slower learners than their peers are. Recently a news story was told of a school administrator that spanked students for poor test scores and poor grades. While no details of the incident were reported, the results would be devastating any child. Appalling in this day and age.
Having raised four children, the vast array of children's ability is uncanny. One son never does homework, never brings a book home and somehow manages to receive all A's on his report card. Another son studies for hours every night, does all the extra credit assignment, goes to school early for extra help and manages to squeeze out a smattering of A's mingled with a couple of B's.
The third son has a Chicago tutor to help him in Math and comprehension for reading. While one son is in the accelerated learning program and another struggles in resource. All come from the same home where there is support and encouragement. The bottom line is that all children learn, absorb, and gain knowledge in diverse ways. All the punishment in the world can't overcome learning disabilities and what a sick way to solve a serious problem.
What can you do for a struggling child? Involvement is key. Let the teacher know you are a support to him/her. Stay in touch with e-mails, don't let your child become so far behind that failure is the only option. Empower your student with support but don't take the responsibility away from them. Chicago tutors can keep your student caught up with the class. A tutor is a one on one classroom catered to your child's learning style.
Make sure there are no underlying behavior or learning problems like dyslexia, ADHD, Autism, or a host of other factors that can impede a child's progress. You are your child's advocate and their first line of defense. Help your child by encouraging and having clear and attainable goals. The goal can't be A's for all children. A child with a learning disability may receive a C after all they can do, this has to be acceptable for that child. Another child may do no homework, rarely show up to class, and pull a B. This grade is unacceptable. It is rising to the child's full potential that has to be the focus. Not a universal standard of A's.
School is difficult for some children, but their success in life depends on it. Encouragement and support are vital along with a Chicago tutor to help bridge the gap.
