DETERMINING THE
PROBLEM
One of the first things you need to establish is can your child
handle the material.
Students can be experiencing difficulties with the level
of the material and not tell you or the teacher. They feel vulnerable and
afraid to admit to something they may see as a fault or weakness
You will need to do a little detective work: talk with your
child and ask her what the problem is; phone the teacher and get her
perspective; is it one subject or more?
If it is more than one subject that your child is
experiencing difficulties with, then have the school assess your child…more on
this later.
If you discover that your child is experiencing difficulties
with a particular subject at school then you need to arrange a meeting with the
teacher.
Ask the teacher to summarize what, in her opinion, is the problem your
child is having and how to fix it. Together you should come up with a plan to
remedy the situation.
A tutor may also be in the cards to give your child the
extra help she needs to get a solid grip of the material.
