School Days
Aug/26/11
August means back to school. Some students are thrilled that the boring days of summer are over and they have a regular venue to connect with friends.
Others drag reluctantly through the crowded isles of school supplies at Walmart and plot ways to make school more exciting--like pestering teachers, stretching the rules, and finding new ways to barely get by.
Every parent needs to be vigilant regarding their school. There are always new rules and new policies. One school has instituted a ‘no hugs and no high fives’ policy. Yes, one girl was suspended for hugging her friend!
Take advantage of every way to connect with your school. Attend open houses, email teachers, read the online behavior policy. And, if your child has little to say, invite his or her friends over. You’ll learn much just listening.
