Keep in touch with your teachers
Tempting as it may be to put the teacher hat on, don’t! You are not a teacher. You are simply a facilitator. So put that red pen away and leave it to the experts!
Tash Rosin, Founder of Teatime Tutors says, “The onus is on the school to teach, mark and feed back on work, not parents. Stay in close contact with your school and always contact your teacher as the first port of call for support and advice. If your child is struggling, consider a tutor who can support them with their schoolwork, fill in any gaps in their knowledge and prepare them for the year ahead. Whatever you do, don’t panic. Teachers know their stuff and they will adapt the curriculum, focusing on Maths and English to catch up on lost time at school.”
