The school is out, but as I keep my children involved, so do not forget your priorities?

Good question ...

Now I would say that his father taught as a professor three grown children 20 years and under Mathematics for 5.5 years, with a part-time college associates, there are lots of options.

Let me start that studies have shown that children begin their school year, retaining less information
when the school year ended. It 's amazing that with all the hard work, study and learn from August, the children until May / Juneactually start school with less retention of this information.

Part of it is that many students to stimulate your brain by learning during the summer months. Fill watch TV with their daily routine, work longer hours, holidays, hobbies, family vacation, staying up late, sleeping late, video games, etc.

What can parents do?

Well, just inform the school children home during the summer months (my sister at home
all three of itsChildren), have you tried these ideas?

Find out first what your child needs assistance or help with subjects. Maybe your child the results of their taks (Texas got in there is an end of the national examination for the conservation and understanding of a student of English, mathematics, science and social action). Students vote in all four subjects received a high school diploma. If you test its end of the course, ACT, SAT exams, the last witness took Lookwhich files are inside, perhaps worse, your child
did well, but are always looking accepted to school, have higher grades, want to take AP classes, etc.

Others Search the site for some free web resources in each of these subjects. I used to teach students a summer program in mathematics at a private school local school to middle school, called Middle School Math with puzzles. I want students first half, algebra and algebra concepts to introducewhile reinforcing the skills they have learned before, but use some puzzles and some Web pages that were fun educational games in mathematics and computer science. It made learning the concepts of "fun."

Use this as a punishment. In my years of teaching, I wish I had a dollar every time a student said he could not count because they were stupid or not good at math. I always believed that trying to believe in themselves and have a positive attitude. I enjoy mathematics, exciting and aboveWith regard to the real world (science, English, art, social sciences, engineering, etc.). I had a student a few years ago I hated math, but at the end of Algebra II, smiled and passed. Another student has left school and came a few months later and told me he had a 4.0 average in his classes in a nursing college, and because of that I had taught Algebra II.

The idea is to get extra help or tutoring should never be used as punishment or to minimizeYour
Child. When I was in the army, if something is not achieved for the first time, go back and look
in the task, processes, how you can practice better not to practice, practice, and again.

Such is life .. It is the reality, guess if it does not take math, science, social studies and English concepts, then, was sitting on the couch all summer complaining about the school will not help, next year.

Get help. Try some online sites. If youTheir textbooks, writing these words.

b. If you can not do it alone, to see if your community has some summer school programs that can check on Some are only a few weeks, and only a few hours a day.

c. Find a mentor who can help you. Perhaps you have another student in your area that can be invoked. Find a reputable company where you get tutor lessons in order to have the comforts of home (if you're at home) and work one by one with your child. I did thisexpected for several years, and I had to mathematical concepts in a hurry, then. I have a student of seventh class C and D's seen him do in algebra, geometry and algebra II The investment for your child really helps ... Believe me, you try your child may not work tutors. My daughter told me years ago after not understand the concept of cross wishing I was her math teacher ... to give the other, my two children, not like my boring, ask questions, etc. I don 't likeAnswers.

d. visit your local library .... Believe it or not to read some books in your field. Even books such as Math for Dummies, Idiot's Guide ', have a lot of good advice to help students, but will still be fun and understandable.

e. Back to the Library. Most banks have online data and samples. We have several tests that will take you to practice your act, SAT and other exams. Look at your local library and see if some are onlinePractice tests.

f. Take a summer course at a higher grade in the class, you will need. If your local school is a preparatory class for the beginning of the ninth grade students in algebra, then this might help.

g. video series ... Personally, as tapes and DVDs from the Standard Deviants. You can use the value of the concepts in an interesting way to cover entertainment. Check that the library will look at these resources.

h. Last but not least. There is a whole world of the Internetto obtain resources for help. I know some who have the taks practice questions, SAT Prep, etc.

I hope this helps .. It can not work with every student, but the idea is to keep them intellectually challenged and still learning all summer .... Jöhnk
