The Globe and Mail offers the most authoritative news in Canada, featuring national and international news
Every year, for back-to-school, kids are inundated with advice on how to get good grades, stay healthy and set themselves up for success.
“We can work together and think about solutions together – and it’s important for me to know what works well at home too,” says Ty. “If the student has had consultations, if they’re seeing a doctor or a therapist, I want to know that.”Jay, a high-school math and science teacher at the Toronto District School Board who requested not to be identified by his full name, explains that fostering good habits at home is key to ensuring a successful school year – no matter the age of the student.
“It could be 10 minutes, it could be five minutes, it could be one page of something that they’re really good at. But the habit of sitting and doing something before they can have free time goes a long way,” says Jay. That might mean filling the home with age-appropriate books and making reading time a fun and integral part of the day, or spending some time at the playground with other kids to get the student used to hanging out with their peers.Whether a student is heading to kindergarten for the very first time or moving up from primary to secondary school, transitions can be a bit rocky at first as the students’ whole day has changed – especially if they’ve moved schools.
