Dear parents,
As today is the last day of the first term of school, it is a day when our children's academic achievements are discussed and evaluated a lot.
While evaluating our children's academic achievements, parents should consider some necessary I would like to draw your attention to these issues.
First of all, success or failure is not only about our children's own efforts. There are many factors that affect success or failure. Considering these factors as a whole when evaluating our children's academic performance will help us develop the right solutions in the future. Evaluating low performance by reducing it only to our children and developing attitudes accordingly may have undesirable effects on our children and will also weaken their motivation to achieve.
So, what are the factors that affect a child's academic performance? First of all, the most basic thing we need to know is that each child's intelligence, interests and abilities may differ, and learning methods and times are not the same. A child's success in mathematics may not be as successful in other subjects as art or music. The exact opposite of this situation may also happen. Or a child who has high verbal or social performance may not be able to achieve the same level of success in mathematics. However, both the education system and practitioners, as well as families, may attach greater importance to achievements in certain areas and evaluate achievements in other areas at a secondary level. In fact, by making evaluations based on full scores, the focus is on the child's failure rather than his or her level of success. That is to say, emphasis can be placed on the twenty points that were not received in a course rather than the eighty points that were obtained out of a hundred. These and similar situations may have negative effects on children. Of course, let's see the glass half empty, but the part that will quench our thirst is the glass half full.
On the other hand, there may be other problems that negatively affect children's academic performance. Such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, Specific Learning Disorder, and problems specific to Adolescence. In terms of this and similar problems, both It will be beneficial for both teachers and parents to monitor our children and receive the necessary expert support in terms of our children's academic performance.
Other factors affecting success; Reasons such as school and lesson environments, applied curriculum and teaching methods and techniques, social environment, lack of time planning (excessive time spent on TV, internet, games, etc.), parental attitudes can also be listed. By focusing on these and similar reasons affecting success, making analyzes and producing solutions, and taking an inclusive approach by including families in the solution processes, schools will make positive contributions to increasing the success of our children.
As a result, our children's physical and Protecting their mental health is the top priority. We can get to know our child better, not by comparing him with his peers, but by acting with the awareness that he is unique and unique.
When evaluating the grades on our children's report cards, as a parent, you should pay attention to all these issues, which will help you develop more correct attitudes towards your child and produce solutions. It will contribute.
Everything is for our children and young people. Stay with love.
