How to Help Your Child Do Better in School

4/7/2014

Today I came across some notes that I took awhile back when I read Christopher and Neka Harrison's book How to Help Your Child Achieve Academic Success in School. I'd like to share some of the key points with those of you who have a sincere desire to help your child to better in school. Here are the Harrisons' recommendations:

* Consistent attendance
* Come to school prepared
* Ask questions in class
* Put forth a best effort, rather than just enough
* Take class notes
* Complete and turn in all assignments
* Limit class conversations to academic ones
* Accept help from peers and teachers
* Value the relevance of education

They give a rationale for each and tips for how to do each of these tasks. As a teacher, I too could give my own rational for all of the above recommendations. If you are interested in reading their book here is the Amazon link.
