This is a question that many parents ask themselves later, which is too late, to help their children with school achievement. Public and private schools are sometimes viewed as a place where students only fulfill their responsibility if they arrive on campus.
If they dress in the assigned uniform, in case they wear it, and if they bring a bag or backpack in case they bring it to the classroom.
Unfortunately, the commitment, responsibility, punctuality, and more than anything intrinsic desire from within to be in that place with a true purpose of learning, acquiring knowledge and knowing more than before coming to that place of course topics such as languages, Spanish, English, mathematics, science, social studies, physical education, fine arts, health, home economics, industrial arts, etc., etc. It is immensely large and strong enough to graduate, just by being registered or enrolled in that educational center.
What factors are necessary to obtain an acceptable grade between; satisfactory, good or excellent in a public or private school?
Taken from the Report (2005) Violence between schoolmates' -Ángela Serrano Sarmiento and Isabel Iborra Marmolejo. Valencia Spain
School factors:
• Educational policies that do not work properly and correct violent behavior.
• Absence of transmission of values.
• Transmission of sexist stereotypes in educational practices. Discrimination by gender is still observed among students.
• Lack of attention to cultural diversity.
• Excessively academic content. Topics of interest to students are not included
Family factors:
• Inadequate parenting practices: authoritarian or, on the contrary, negligent (Child syndrome with the key to the neck).
• Dysfunctional family. This includes both child abuse, domestic violence, divorce, the lack of role models in the home, excessive behaviors and addictive behaviors, be it sex, drugs, alcohol, gambling and even work among others.
• Little family communication. Most children today do not know or know their parents, and not because they do not know who they are, that such cases exist. But because they do not know anything positive to say about their parents and the school is an escape from their dire reality.
2.3. Sociocultural risk factors
Media:
• Presentation of models lacking values, both on the radio and in newspapers, magazines and television. In addition to the cinema. Heroes who proclaim and admire or are violent or do not follow rules and norms of social, ethical and moral behavior.
• Low educational and cultural quality of programming. Changes in curriculum, standards, objectives and goals of work plans are so frequent and continuous that teaching is more than a continuous and varied system. It is a spell of fantasies and entelechies that do not apply to the country's Educational System.
• High presence of violent content in television programs. The most sought-after heroes in dolls, as well as electronic games and cable TV are loaded with sexual, violent and unethical content that in no way contribute to boys and girls and, above all, adolescents wanting to follow the rules that are implemented in the schools.
• Sensational treatment of news with violent content. At all times and at all times.
Others:
• Precarious economic situation. It forces them to enter into comparisons, competitions and be discriminated against for not having what they want to have, when they want it, they ask for and request it.
• Sexist and xenophobic stereotypes installed in society.
• Social justification for violence, easy money without studying or having a career. Even a trade to fend for themselves. Acting, singing, contests and competitions that make you successful or successful overnight, not to mention here what is not legal, without a doubt these are the perfect jobs or the only tools as a means to achieve a goal. School for many of the potential students who are not promoted or who fail in grade is no longer having priority and meaning.
Recommendations to parents seeking solutions to the possibility of having a son or daughter who does not pass grade
1- Visit the school at least weekly. If the student does not inform him of anything that happens in his classes and school. Don't believe him when he says don't give me assignments.
2- It is important to check the notebooks, books, packages or backpacks. View and read letters to parents sent to them from school.
3- Talk in person with the teachers. Everyone has two hours available for training and materials preparation. Make an appointment at the office.
4- Attend parent meetings. There you will learn about topics that are important for the student's future.
5- Find out what it does? Where does your son or daughter go in the free hours? Who are your friends?
6- Attend appointments of counselors, social workers, psychologists do not cancel them. The future of your son or daughter is at stake. I did not forget it.
7- Educate yourself about the alternative educational programs, free exams, equivalency exams, vocational schools, special education and others that have requirements and deadlines for admission. Don't wait until May and accuse administrators and resources for not helping you on time.
8- If the student does not read, does not write and does not know anything about mathematics, seek support from tutors. Schools offer tutoring, but a little help from the parent or guardian is welcome.
9- If the student has attention deficit and does not attend the teacher help him reading, writing, recording classes. Use computers at school or study centers. Seek support in your community, and in your internal resources, family and friends. In addition to the school there are free agencies and foundations that collaborate in the teaching processes.
10- Control excess TV, Internet Chat, electronic games, outings with friends, visits to parks. Make a discipline of study habits at home. At first it will be hard, then it will be customary.
Finally, I want and wish to urge the parents of students with the possibility of not being promoted that NOW, TODAY, at this moment when classes have hardly started and school is when YOU HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO START A PROGRAM OF STUDIES. REALLY, he or she, even if you do not understand, would THANK YOU ALL LIFE. And we at school too. AHEAD!!!!.
