How good is school?

The question of how well to study at school is relevant for many schoolchildren. After successful training often determines a higher status among peers, it is important in choosing a further life path. Some students who treat the process of learning quite indifferently, by the end of the school, will recollect: how to start learning well?

What should I do to learn well?

  1. First, we must determine our priorities. For what it is important to study well for you: maybe for admission to a higher educational institution, where there is a big competition; or to increase the authority among classmates, and maybe it's important for you to get the approval of parents and teachers?
  2. Next, you need to decide on specific tasks. It's simpler, when only one thing sinks-two study subjects, it is more difficult if the knowledge gap is a few in several subjects. For example, you set a task to write a "4" essay on literature, or learn English vocabulary on a working topic for "5".
  3. In order that there are no gaps in knowledge, all lessons should be attended. If, for any good reason, classes have to be missed, it is important to ask the classmates or the teacher about the topic of the lesson and the main questions analyzed in the class to learn the material yourself.
  4. The presence in the lessons will be useless if you do not take the training material. Of course, many topics are quite difficult, but if you carefully listen to the teacher's explanations, delve into the charts, tables, graphs that illustrate the material being studied, then you can understand the essence of the matter even with a low level of abilities.
  5. If some part of the material is not entirely clear, then do not hesitate to ask a question about the topic. It happens that the teacher irritates the students' clarifying questions, or the natural shyness does not allow to ask the teacher about the not understood. Then you should ask for help from a classmate who is successful in this subject. When explaining "in one's own words," understanding complex material is sometimes easier than when studying a textbook.
  6. Deciding for yourself how best to learn in school, take the obligation: do homework regularly and whenever possible independently. Doing the given work at home, you fix the material and gain the necessary skills.
  7. It is very important to organize your time, especially if you attend a sports section, a music school, an art studio, etc. Incidentally, it has been reliably established that children receiving additional education better structure time, accurately determined with the time spent for the lessons, attending additional classes, helping with home parents and even meeting with friends.

How to help your child learn well?

Without a caring attitude of parents and their unobtrusive attention, it is sometimes difficult for a child to organize themselves. Reasonable help to adults is simply necessary!

Tips: How to help your child learn well?

  1. You need to start with the organization of the student's workplace. The child should have his own desk for homework and a place where he could hold office supplies and textbooks.
  2. The student should have everything necessary for studying. And this, of course, is the care of parents!
  3. You can not do without monitoring the attendance of school lessons and homework. In the first stages of education, parents should check the quality of homework on a daily basis, then, from time to time, they should monitor the conduct of the diary, review the assessments and records made by the teachers. If the child has difficulties in some subjects, then special attention should be given to testing the assimilation of material on new topics. One can not only check the notebooks, but also offer the child to retell the material, explain the theorem, recite the poems, etc.
  4. You should keep in touch with the school, teachers, first of all, with the class teacher, the parent committee through visits to parent meetings and other events, periodic phone calls or correspondence on the site. This is especially true if a child for good reason misses classes or there are obvious problems with schooling.
  5. It happens that parents do not have enough knowledge on any subjects, for example, a foreign language, mathematics, etc., and the child has difficulties in this area. Then you need to find out about optional classes in this subject or to provide lessons with a tutor.
  6. From early childhood, it is necessary to teach the child to be organized, to expand his horizons, to promote the development of mental processes (thinking, memory, attention), to teach them independence and the ability to work with information.
  7. A system of motivation is needed, which must be strictly observed. If a child is promised a trip to the circus during a week for the good grades, then it is necessary to fulfill, and, conversely, due to bad performance, the promised trip can be postponed, etc. Do not lay stress on material encouragement!

Daily devoting a certain amount of your time to a child, you will get rid of the problem of how to make a child to learn well, but will rejoice at his success.
