Some parents choose to change schools and this can be a bad idea. Understand
The news of a school failure disappoints and shocks parents and students. However, it may be more common than you think, especially after the disruption to learning caused by the pandemic. But what do you do when this happens in your home, with your children?
According to Marizane Piergentile, director of education of the Rede Adventista of the ABC region and Baixada Santista, knowing how to react and coolly analyze the situation can make a difference in the student’s academic performance in the next school year.
“It is very important to remember that failure does not happen overnight, this is the end result of the activities carried out throughout the year,” he explains.
But what could have caused this result?
For the pedagogue, the reasons for failure can be different. “Parents must check whether there really has been an effort on the part of the student, who has not yet achieved a good result,” he says.
“In this case it is interesting to turn to a multidisciplinary team, starting from referring the child to the pediatrician. In this way it is possible to understand if there is any particular situation to be treated, such as attention deficit, dyslexia, dyscalculia, among others. An educational psychologist can carry out a screening to see if there are gaps, because if it is a clinical problem, it can be treated while the student continues his academic life.”
Marizane also points out that some parents choose to change institutions. However, the expert points out that in some cases only a pedagogical supplement, such as a private teacher or reinforcement, is sufficient.
“The curriculum is the same in all schools, so in some situations the reason for failure is the need to investigate a specific prerequisite that is out of date,” he says.
You have to face the consequences
If the reason is a lack of dedication, parents need to understand what is happening and thus show their children that it is necessary to make this decision, always showing support and company during this phase.
“In case of lack of commitment, the family should not try to make up for the failure. Having students directly face the consequences of their actions will make a difference in their education and maturity,” says Marizane.
Furthermore, looking for a third party to blame or absolving the student from responsibility is not an option.
“The repeat situation is critical and mostly irreversible, don’t dwell on what happened in the past or where it could be different. Face the problem head on and encourage your child to do the same,” she concludes.
