Many parents struggle with how to help their child succeed in school.
Write a paragraph explaining what you think is the most helpful thing a parent can do to help their child succeed in school.
Make sure you explain how to do it and why you think it's helpful.
I really do not know the most helpful thing that a parent can do. There are so many. One of those would be to feed their child healthy foods, and feed them breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and a lot of kids like to have it before going to school. Another would be for a parent to help their child with their homework. A lot of times kids need help with homework, and a lot of times the parents know how to do that homework. I'm not saying parents should always be able to help their kids, or just tell them the answer. Finally, I think a parent can help their kid by giving them hope. A lot of times kids say they will fail this test, or they are nervous that they wont do good on a test. Parents can always encourage their kids that they will do fine. I do think it helps too. That way, the child may not be as nervous, and gets a good grade on their test.

DeleteI agree. Letting kids know that you believe in them helps their confidence, and confidence is half the battle!
DeleteWell to stay calm and give chances. Be supportive and kind. Parents need to give kids space to make there own mistakes and learn from them not to be like a boot camp. Sometimes the parents need to step in to keep the child safe. No one is perfect but you can learn from your mistakes and fix them.
ReplyDeleteVery insightful, Adrian! :)
DeleteWell parents can do many things to help their child succeed in school. One of the biggest ways is help their children with the homework. When I built my volcano for science, my dad helped me make it. I don't think I could have came up with that idea. Parents also help in making your lunches for school, succeeding over your hunger. For all of my life, my parents helped me with school homework, studying, testing, etc. But the real reason is parents will be their anytime to help you with your education, and nothing can stop them. (unless there sleeping)
ReplyDeletegreat.
Deletegreat.
DeleteBeing there is a huge help. Even if they don't exactly help you with your homework, knowing they are there if you need them is very beneficial.
DeleteAnd Jake, knock it off! Ryan is doing what he's supposed to do by commenting on classmate posts.
DeleteThe most helpful thing a parent can do is help with your home work so you get a good grade. then if you have a missing assignment they yell at you and tell you to get it in. Also if there is a project they can tell you to work on it little bights at a time so that you dont get home the night before and try to throw some thing together and then you fail. Parents have there ways of telling you to do your home work. If you fail a project they are there to yell at you and tell you to do it over and do it right.
ReplyDeletelol That is a good point! Sometimes, as kids, we don't realize how important it is to stay organized until its too late. I'm glad your parents check your work. :)
DeleteThere are many things that a parent can do to help their parents succeed in school. One thing my parents do to help succeed is that they feed me and fill my stomach with food before I go to school, then I can focus on learning and not on food. My parents also tell me to do sports now while I'm in high school I will have better time management skills. These thing I think are the most helpful because the I will be prepared for high school. Last year I was helped more by my leap leader. And for that I will thank them.

DeleteBreakfast is important, as are sports. Time management is one of the MOST important skills you will ever learn. Better to practice it and get in the habit while you're young.
DeleteSo many things that my parents could do. One of the most important things they can do is be supportive. When I mean supportive I mean if I wanted to get purple shoes they would say yeah I think they would look cool or if I wanted to quit football and play hockey and them say," Oh that would be fine." But for school they could be supportive in education wise they could support by many things. Say in this case I wanted to drop Study Hall because my favorite teacher Ms. Chetto leaves so that makes me want to go back into band. But for them to support me I would hope they would say yes because I would want to peruse a musical career.
ReplyDeleteIf I would have known you wanted to go to band, I would have quit that study hall long ago!! Go for the music, Sam!!
DeleteThere are many things a parent can do to help their kids though school. One of the many things they can do is encourage their kids to do anything they want to do. If their kids are interested in what they do they will be busier and eventually better at doing things than if they didn't do anything. The second thing parents should do is let the kid be them self’s around you. Because usually if they are really good at home, they usually are not at school too. They just need to get it out of their systems and they choose school to let it out of their systems
ReplyDeleteGee, lucky us here at school! jk ;)
DeleteYou guys are all probably right, there are many things a parent could do to help their children, but I think the most helpful thing they could once in a while is stop nagging about how I don't "close my letter a's or start insisting that I should go over this assignment that I did week ago and turned in already. For me it's not what my mom should start doing, it's what she needs to stop doing and raging every time I don't write a letter of "her" alphabet. Also needs to stop saying how hard my assignments are to her and that not even she knows how to do them even though she still says "You're doing it all wrong". Also to all the teachers out there that just absolutely hate whistling, us cool guys whistle because all the work that you goobers give us just goes faster. So, I think that concludes this DQ for today and good night.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we don't like whistling because we're jealous that we can't do it....and by we, I mean me! I can't whistle. :(
DeleteThis is what would help me succeed in school if I was failing so if I like this idea then other kids would to and then the parents would have no choice but to do this method. OK so this geniuses method is that if your kid gets a failing grade they get some money and if they get a b they get more and if they get an a then they get even more and that was for their quarter grades and every quarter if they kept their grades up they would get even more. Now that would be a geniuses plan.
ReplyDeleteI should totally just fail all my classes and then offer this idea to my parents and I could get a ton of dough that is one good idea there.
Paying for grades....not so sure I agree with you here, Alex!
