    Taking A Hands-On Approach To Improving Education

    By Friends of Real MommaNovember 20, 2023No Comments3 Mins Read

    A parent who wants their children to do their best will often be thinking about education. Not just the education of their child but the effectiveness of the education system in general. Everyone can admit it needs improving, but to improve it, you can’t stand on the sidelines. You need to know how to get hands-on, both with your own child and the system at large.

    Encourage from the outside

    Not every parent has the time to get more closely involved with the school. If most of the work you can do is from the outside, then encouragement is what you should be providing. Encouraging without pressuring your child can be a difficult line for some to follow. Talk to your kid honestly about how they think they’re doing, about what results they expect, and what difficulties they’re having. Find their terms so you can offer the advice and guidance that’s really going to land with them.

    Advocate from within

    If you do have the time, then you should get more involved with the school, perhaps even to the point of joining the PTA. Children with parents in the PTA tend to do better, as reports show. But the help that you can offer the school is perhaps where you can do the most good. Playing a part in the decision-making of budget allocation or offering your assistance in fundraising and volunteering to improve the school makes a huge difference.

    Get educated

    A career in the school system can be a tremendously helpful thing for a parent, as well. With a BA online in Early Childhood Development degree, you learn a lot more about you young child is being educated and how you can further support that at home. But there’s also the considerable fact that we simply need more people who care about education involved at all levels in our schools. You can do more than contribute to the children you teach and help to develop. You contribute to a wider culture in school faculties.

    Understanding their needs

    It’s not something that any parent wants to admit, but children often need a little more help than others to get the best results out of their education. If you’re concerned about how your child is doing despite their efforts, then you need to look into any needs they might have beyond the expected. For instance, it’s easy to be unaware of learning disabilities they could get specialist help for.  Or they could have a need need for speech or reading therapy. They may even be dealing with mental health issues getting in the way of school. Understanding their needs and working with the school to help address them can help get your child on the right track.

    Beyond the steps above, it helps to pay close attention to the politics of education. Where funding goes, where it’s cut, what standards are put in place will all have immediate effects in the system your child is a part of. When you disagree with a stance your community and state leaders are taking, for instance, write to them or call them. It helps no-one to stand on the sidelines.
