Back to school

September is here again! It’s back to school for most students in Algeria.
Let’s demonstrate the sense of responsibility for our children.
Going back to school or starting school is great event not only to the students but to their parents and teachers as well. So, how do you feel as parents, teachers and students ?

As Parents:

Most parents become very happy when it’s September. That’s the time they “ship” their children (with all the headaches they give them at home)
Parents have the responsibility (I call it obligation) to ensure that their children are well fed, appropriately clothed and ready with all the school supplies needed before leaving home for school.

As Teachers:
Help your students have their path of learning.
Teaching is a profession and those who enter it must demonstrate professionalism in the duties. It is the duty of every teacher to prepare for the school year. Teachers should plan lessons before going to school and also try to identify the resources and materials that will be needed in the classroom for the teaching and learning process. Such teacher preparation ensures smooth classroom work for the school year.
It is also important for the teacher to set classroom rules with students. Teachers are also obliged to support the school administration in school discipline. I personally believe in preventive discipline and admire the teacher who employs such administrative tool.
Team work with fellow teachers is a key for success .
The teacher must introduce him/herself to the parents of his/her students as early as possible. Call home and talk to the parents of your students If necessary .

As Students:
Students must know and understand that they go to school to learn. So, teachers are there to help them learn.
The long vacation often causes students to forget most of what they have learned the previous year and since the early days of the new school year are used to revise stuff learned at the previous grade level students.

It is back to school, students should think of organizing their time avoid playing or watching television all day and late into the night. Many students are late to school in the mornings because they don’t go to bed early.
