On September 1, in the school court of the parents of first -graders you can see at once. And it is immediately clear that they are satisfied: “We did everything for our future: we are on the threshold of the school where we wanted to get so”.
Indeed, there is a lot of efforts and nerves. To get into the “right” school, others are ready to “keep hold” or hurry their child for a whole year. But everything is behind, and we stand in the crowd of parents, looking at our first grader with emotion. We are sure: from this moment on and 11 years in advance, our life is predetermined: rest, entertainment, and even diseases are now directly related to the school.
In elementary grades, half of the children cough from autumn to spring, but courageously goes to classes. Sometimes you can meet a
mother in the corridor, who leads a child of a child in a snot for one lesson: he will write a control and go to be treated further. Why such extremes, why not leave the child alone? We are just afraid. Do not “correspond” to the school level that the child will not fit into the team, which will lag behind the program.
We will still have the opportunity to change what will not work for us. It is important to just understand when it is better to do it
Do not be afraid, twitch and pull children. There will be another million control and dictations that they will write. The attitude to the fifth grade – both ours and the child – will change to school: new teachers, objects, friends, interests will appear. Priorities will change – you can’t list everything. In high school, they will inevitably begin to study worse: this is due to an increase in the physical and emotional load, and most importantly, with the fact that in the adolescence for a child, communication is more important, not lessons.
And in high school, the child, already understanding that he is there, will begin to think about the future. Study will come first again: tutors, courses, external residents – and this will be a completely different life, where the school is not at all the first and not second place.
We will rejoice at the first of September, but we will not worry so much if we suddenly understand that we unsuccessfully chose a school for the child: he is not tied to her, like a serf peasant to the ground! There is always the opportunity to replay – it is important to simply understand when it is better to do it. For example, you should not change school in the seventh grade, at the peak of teenage communication, but in the fifth or ninth – please, this can be done (and sometimes) to expand the circle of communication of the child, give him the opportunity to build relationships in different teams.
Life goes, sets new tasks, and our main parental business is to communicate with our children. And we will remember that the school is still not the main thing that is and should be in their life.
