How Do I Improve My Son's Academic Performance??? by inikamoze(m): 1:03am On Jul 09, 2022
Hello Parents and tutors, I believe you all are doing great. Your candid advice is needed on how to improve my son's academic ability.

I have a soon to be 6yr old son who is in Nursery 2 and going to Primary one next session but honestly, I am not happy with his performance. I want to blame the school but I want to seek other alternatives.

First of all his spoken English is bad, I have to correct most of his sentences when to use the past tense, the right figurative expression, the right sentence(he muddles it up sometimes), and a host of others. Note, that he is a bright boy and catches things easily if taught well. I am planning to change his school next term, but I am still looking at the financial implications. The private school he currently attends is about the cheapest around in our estate, although people say the school is good for my son, I am not impressed. He has been with the school since he started KG classes at 2yrs old.

His mathematical skills are poor and reading even the basic things are difficult, especially his workbooks, all these make me sad and angry at the same time.

My challenge of enrolling him in another school is the finances and the proximity of any new school to where we live, but I don't know if it's to find the means and have his school changed or allow him to continue and look for ways to better his academics.

Parents/Teachers please what advice can you give me? Do I get him enrolled in another school or get extra mural classes for him(another cost) or are there easy online programs for kids I can download to help his grammar, math skills, and bad English?

I am tired of seeing his assessment/report sheet with scores that hover between 95-98% for the past 2 sessions but which I do not see reflected in him.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Teach him yourself or be willing to get experienced teachers to join hands with you and pay them good. It is not cheap raising kids again o. Just don't give up.

Poster above is on point. You need to be his 2nd teacher. 2. Reduce his TV or phone watching. 3. His English at age 6 /7 will pf course require correction its normal at this age and older. Just keep correcting him. 4. Buy him educational books and toys and materials so he can enjoy learning.

I do not understand being a parent, nor a tutor, but I understand that there are no dull student but dull classroom. If he is smart as you said, and your neighbours claim the school is good for your child, then their is a missing link.
Missing link I can assumed are :
1) Your Son Learning style:
Is he a tactile learner?
Is he a visual learner?
Is he a audio learner?
Google the 3 above and know your child learning style.
2) Child's Environment:
Do you encourage the child's academic development or the school is solely responsible for it?
How about your significant others what's their contribution to the child's development?
3) The Teacher and School:
How motivated are the teachers, what is the teachers salary? a teacher that's being paid 30k in a month to teach over 30kids, we all know what can happen lipsrsealed (no be my mouth una go hear that).
GOD will bless your pocket more, please pay attention to your child's education.

Use Cutlass to open his head. Put the school curriculum inside and seal the head with thread and needle

Stop leaving everything to the school and teachers. In fact, sometimes they teach them wrongly using wrong approach.

Create time for your kids, at least an hour daily to help him improve in his studies.

Get them educative video materials online, check YouTube for such materials. Kids learn quickly from songs and videos

Expose them to educative n science oriented cartoons e.g blaze n the monster machine, everything Rosie etc

Employ a lesson teacher to teach him.
Re: How Do I Improve My Son's Academic Performance??? by Enyinne(f): 10:04pm On Jul 09, 2022
I will advise you reduce ur personal expenditure so u can have extra cash to move him from this school . 6-7yrs foundation in education is very vital or else he will be affected in higher grade classes. Good education which u are seeking is not cheap and I believe the educational standard of his current school is poor and not equipping him well . Lesson teacher cant offer all encompassing subjects that will cover all area of learning but good school will touch it all thereby making him to be well grounded academically and otherwise.
Deny urself some frivolous spendings and invest in quality education.
Make extensive inquiries of better school around ur vicinity and environment,if its alittle far away , pay school bus to help .

Its not easy but it's Doable depending on ur priority
