For many parents, choosing their child's school can be a daunting task, as there are many different college options and different educational lines. But how to opt for the best? What items to evaluate so that this environment can assist in the development and especially in the education of children? According to the educator Arlete Codo, it is essential that parents or guardians research the institution before making an appointment. It is no use visiting the college without knowing what the real purpose of teaching is. First of all, do an internet search and go to the school's website ?, he warns.
Here are 7 tips for making a smart choice for your child's future:
1. Use the internet to your advantage
Social networks are great ways to measure the acceptance or not of parents who already have their children enrolled in this school. Always be aware of their comments on the teaching, structure, assessment system and even the curriculum of teachers.
2. Closer to you
It is no use putting you in a school that is not near your home or work. Keep in mind that the less traffic you get, the better, as little ones can get bored on the way, especially in hot weather, such as in summer.
“They need to feel good to have a quiet day at school. If the school goes too far, can the stress of the journey hinder it throughout the day ?, reminds the educator.
3. Monthly Fees
You need to consider your home budget before choosing. ? You need to analyze the value of tuition, school materials, any educational trips that your child may make, as well as uniform and snacks ?, considers Arlete. It is noteworthy that there are schools with the same didactic parameters and that may present differences in prices.
4. Education system
Evaluate whether the college works with textbooks or books. It will all depend on the line the college will follow. Both are good sources of education, but it is worth considering whether they also offer paradigmatic books to encourage reading, as well as other learning mechanisms. Games are very effective for inserting new content to the child ?, explains the educator.
5. Bilingual?
There are schools that opt for bilingual education where students will have all classes in English. At others, they put English as another discipline and teach them once or twice a week. They are interesting ways of teaching. You enter the student in another language early on, which helps you in future to gain great opportunities for work ?, ponders Arlete.
6. Time at school
You will surely find options for part-time or full-time colleges. In that case, what will help in choosing is the time of the parents. If both work all day, if there is no one who can stay with the child after arriving from school. If the choice is full, check to see if the college offers activities during this time. Is physical activity also essential for development ?, comments the educator.
7. Food
Also note if there is a cafeteria in the college. Evaluate if what will be sold there is healthy and behaves with your child's diet. It is important that the balanced diet you offer at your home is followed throughout the week.
