Study Habits….if you happen to have summer school
There are so many kids out there who find themselves at this time of the year, entering summer school due to failing or possibly those who passed with all honors that are heading straight on into college. Hopefully you have a child who falls in the later phase but hopefully your teenager can simply stay at home and do what kids at that age should really be doing if you ask me. That’s the one summer that all kids, in my opinion, should get to just hang out and be kids. I was fortunate enough that my parents believe that being a kid was a time for being a kid and I never had to work while in high school.
I really did take a class one summer, by taking part of driver’s ed, it was cheaper on my father for my insurance as long as I made good grades and I took this class. This class wasn’t taught at my local high school during the regular school year so I had no choice but to get busy one summer. I had been driving with a license for almost a year, but it again, it made the insurance cheaper so off to summer school I went.
If you are in the other situation, you might want to find a way to help your child deal with learning. Parents.com has a couple of articles that can be of great help, one is 5 Steps to Homework Success. along with 7 ways to establish good homework habits and finally, some tips to School Success that might help your child now, this summer or it might be that you get to store these links away until next fall. Good luck either way, that studying stuff….I’ve never cared too much for it.
