Parent:an individual or
combination of individuals who are responsible for
protecting, educating, disciplining and raising a
child.
Work with your child to help them understand the
importance of passing a test. Give them support and
understanding when it is a test day and most of all
let them understand that one test is not a deal
breaker in their life.
Testing will
always be a part
of education. It
should only be
used as a
measurement of
what your child
has learned for
that class. It
should never be
used as a
judgment of
their
intellectual or
social status.
Often parents
feel that they
or their child
is a failure
because he or
she fails a
test. Test
should only be
used as a tool
of improvement.
1. Never allow a test to become a
wedge between you and your
child.
2. If
your child does poorly on tests,
communicate with the teacher and
solicit ways you can help.
3. Provide a
comfortable, friendly place where
your child can study the night before
the test.
4. Prior
to the test review with your
child any study guides or review
sheets.
5. Read
and review the
subject with your child (be a
part of a solution).
6. If possible
get a copy of the student actual test
and discuss the incorrect answers.
7.
If you find
scoring errors discuss, in a
non-confrontational atmosphere, your
findings with the teacher .
8. Ask your
child how they did on the test (show an
actual interest in their endeavors).
9. If your child
fails a test, don't yell or chastise,
discuss what went wrong and make every
effort to improving the grade on the
next test.
10. Don't rely
on any test to judge your child. They
are all individuals with strengths and
weakness. View them as a whole
individual and love them
unconditionally.
