Parents’ Checklist:

2. Investigate: Daily studying. In writing? (Check scratch notebook) Timed or open time? Duration? Distractions? Phone….

1. Respond: ‘It is not acceptable to leave class having not understood the lesson. Ask questions in class and outside class time till you understand’.

3. Solving the extra exercises from CD? Guides? Official exams? Previouses on Moodle? (All have solutions accessible to student and the student’s work can be viewed)

4. Last resort: Consider joining the Reinforcement sessions.
