IN DEPTH: The Kids are Back–Back to School. Advice from Kids

Posted: Wednesday, August 29th, 2012 at 2:00 pm

The kids are back–back to school. In the eighth part of a ten part In Depth Series on how to help children do their best in school, let’s learn what successful seniors in high school have to say about how to succeed in school.

Join us today as Dr. Bob Leonard goes “In Depth” with Austin Rinehart, Lacie Lambert, and Brooke Chrisman of the Knoxville High School.

IN DEPTH: The Kids are Back–Back to School. School Success.

Posted: Wednesday, August 29th, 2012 at 2:00 pm

It’s always nice to sit down and talk with successful students. Austin Rinehart, Lacie Lambert, and Brooke Chrisman of the Knoxville High School had some very blunt messages for students and for parents regarding success in high school.

1. Show up to school. You can’t learn if you aren’t there.

2. Do your homework. Study. You can’t learn if you don’t do your homework or study.

3. Be respectful. Don’t make a teacher angry. It doesn’t do anyone any good.

4. Set aside time to study.

5. Parents need to be involved. Help your kids. That you worked hard all day and are tired isn’t a good excuse for not helping with homework.

6. For kids who don’t have support at home, there are several programs at school that will help, if kids take advantage of them.

7. Parents need to monitor grades and homework constantly. If there is a problem, then it can be remedied early.

8. Punishments and threats of punishment work. Kids don’t want to lose their cell phone or cars.

Three great kids, some simple advice.
