There are certain things you should never do when picking a school for your child. When it comes to picking a school for her child, every mother wants the very best. However good these intentions are, sometimes picking a school for your child could lead to decisions or actions that could negatively impact on your child and in a long run. Here are 6 things you should never do when picking a school for your child.

Emphasising on brand name alone

We know of those ‘annoying’ mothers (possibly our nosy neighbours who are bent on showing off their affluence) who say they want their child to go to this school or that school because it’s “the best” or it’s “number one.” Yes, some of these schools are great and have built up strong brand names for themselves.. But the reality is there is no such thing as the best school. Rather, there is only the best school for your child. In other words, it’s not the best school, but the right school. It is quite understandable the pressure that certain mothers feel in focusing on the brand name of a school. They believe that the “best” school increases their child’s chances of landing that amazing job or being successful later on in life. There is some truth to that, but that’s not the entire picture.

The teachers are the most important element a school has to guarantee.



Not asking enough questions

It’s helpful to know if a school has a good reputation or gets high marks from other parents. But it is important to know that their children may have different needs than yours does. Taking your child to visit the school could be the trick in making sure it’s a welcoming place. A school’s culture can make a big difference in how accepted your child will feel.It is of high priority to ask the school a lot of questions including how it will support your child academically, emotionally and socially. Don’t forget to take a tour of the school to see the facilities especially how safe or convenient it will be for your child.

Not factoring distance

A great school is worth a long drive. But the same may not be true for a school that seems only slightly better than the one in your neighborhood. Lengthy rides to and from school might limit the amount of time your child has for homework, ...............
