Is your child no longer excited about school?
The school year has been underway for a while now, but that doesn’t mean that your kids are loving it yet…or at all.
Complaints about homework, teachers, waking up early, and not liking school can last through the entire year.
But there are things you can do as a parent to help your child feel better about school.
In fact, the thing that can make the biggest difference is you staying involved with your child’s education.
Check out these stats:
- Students who have one or more parents involved in their education are more likely to get an “A” and less likely to be suspended, expelled or repeat a grade.
- Teacher surveys show that involved parents are the single most important partners public schools need to help students learn. Also, teachers provide more support and encouragement to children whose parents are involved.
- It’s a matter of money. According to the Department of Education, students with involved families are much more likely to graduate from high school, and will earn an average of $200,000 more in their lifetime than high school dropouts.
