Public Or Private School Which Is Better?
Tuesday, 18 September 2007
What do you see when you think of private school when you have gone to public school most of your student years or vice versa? The idea of a private school conjures up images of elite groups of well-to-do folks, but many parents who choose private schools for their kids are far from rich and famous. The point is for many families, it takes a combination of scrimping and borrowing. Many north american families sacrifice college money to send their children to expensive pre-college private schools that can cost from $10,000-$15,000 annually.

Your Child and Homework
Tuesday, 18 September 2007

The problem is that you, and the teachers, can see some long-term benefit to studying. To the child it just seems to be a pointless hassle that is keeping him away from doing something fun. Not only that, if the child finds the work hard, and/or is used to getting poor grades for his work, the whole exercise becomes even more demoralizing and discouraging. Given all that, what child in his right mind WOULD want to do their homework?
So, you will have to do some homework on your part before you can get your child to do the classwork at home. You need to present it in such an interesting manner that it transforms the child’s way of thinking and outbalances all the negatives. However, don’t expect your child to be enthusiastic about it, but at least bring him to a point when he accepts the necessary evil and thinks it is better to get it done and be finished with it than to go on lingering on the unsavory prospect of it.

Here are some suggestions to make homework slightly more interesting:
