Tips for You
Your children need you to be interested and involved in their academic progress. Your children, however, must be responsible for their own grades, attendance, and behavior.
If Your Child is Not Doing Well in School
Most students who don’t do well in school feel like failures. They are frustrated, discouraged and sometimes angry. The “I don’t care” attitude they often display is a defense mechanism. Its important for these students to know that their parents have not given up on them. They also need to know that their parents are interested, supportive, and willing to take the time to help them figure out how to be more successful in school.
