Mid-Semester Checkup: How is your Child Doing in School?

At this point in the school year, your child will have completed around half of the first semester.  This makes the beginning of November an opportune time to take stock of your child’s academic progress for the year.  Is she earning as many ‘A’s’ as possible?  If not, consider finding a tutor for subjects that your child could use extra help.  Online sites like Wyzant and Thumbtack offer numerous tutors for every subject that are easy to find.  Your child’s high school may also have a free tutoring center for students to bring their questions to.  Finally, the first and best place your child should start if she is confused about a particular concept is with her teacher.  Encourage your child to make an appointment with her teacher to discuss any concepts she struggles with.
