How can I get my ninth grader to reignite that learning spark?
Slate needs your support right now.We have two children, a daughter in second grade and a son who’s in pre-K, and I’m looking for advice on transitioning kids from public school to private school in the fall.
How would you explain it to your child why you want them to go to a new school? I’ve tried simple things like, “The day is shorter! You’ll be outside for at least an hour each day, instead of just 15 minutes max! You’ll get to have science class every day!” Alas, masking protocols are getting lifted right and left so this advice might be moot, but perhaps the science teacher will learn his lesson before the next pandemic.I have two children at a large public elementary school in a large city. On our walk to school my second grader mentioned that their class hadn’t had social studies in a month. I was surprised because social studies was a large part of my fifth grader’s second-grade experience .
