Bad Report Card? What To Do #9: Don’t Punish
Bad Report Card? What To Do #9: Don’t Punish
Some students are deathly afraid of punishment for poor report card performance. They can obsess over getting high test scores instead of actually learning the material. Even if your child does not perform as well as you would like on a report card, still try to keep the tone positive. Boost their confidence by offering encouraging words. Show some understanding and let them know that you believe in them. This may lower their stress and allow for better grades.

Bad Report Card? What To Do #8: Ask Questions
Sometimes a student tries their best but still receives a poor grade on their report card. Some questions to ask are:
Is the class too large for your student to get the individualized attention they may require?
Could the time of day of the class have an effect on your student? (For example: early morning, before lunch, or after gym)

Bad Report Card? What To Do #7: Put In Perspective
As a parent it is human nature to say, “The grades on last year’s report card were higher. This year’s report card is lower so there must be a problem with my child.” This rationale is not always accurate. Lower grades could be a sign of a major academic adjustment where students can learn to adapt to over time. This is a new school year and the challenges have become greater than last year. The concepts, expectations and demands have increased. Also your student has different teachers with different methods and expectations.
Haynes Elementary School, Sudbury MA
Y3K Tutor In Your Home has donated tutoring and test prep services to the Haynes Elementary School of Sudbury’s Auction. The Haynes Auction is an integral part of Haynes Organization of Parents (HOP) annual fundraising efforts. Your bids are greatly appreciated not only by Y3K Tutor In Your Home and Haynes Organization of Parents, but by the Sudbury children and families your auction bid directly impacts.
Together we can make a difference in the education of the children at Haynes Elementary School. Through our support, HOP is able to support the school by financing various cultural arts and science enrichment programs, purchasing educational technology, and providing funds for professional development, teacher stipends and school equipment not provided through the Sudbury Public School system. We believe the funds raised from the Y3K Tutor In Your Home donation will enrich the children of Sudbury and broaden their educational experience.

Bad Report Card? What To Do #6: Don’t Wait
Some skills taught previously are like a foundation that the rest of the school year is built upon. Often teachers assume certain math, writing, or reading skills already covered are known and move forward. If those skills are not learned, some students may get buried. Getting extra help or a tutor may be able to catch up your student before they fall even further behind.
MetroWest Humane Society

Bad Report Card? What To Do #5: Check The Schedule
Bad Report Card? What To Do #5: Check The Schedule
Are the demands of an excessive extra-curricular schedule causing report card grades to be low? Sports, music, and theater are just a few examples of time consuming activities students may focus on more than their studies. Sometimes there is not enough time in the day to meet the demands of their activities and put in their best effort on their homework. As a parent, you have the responsibility of examining the extra-curricular schedule and modify it if necessary so they have the time needed to do their homework and study.
