Putting in effort outside of school is the key to your child’s education. If you put in effort outside of the classroom, your hard work and collaboration with your child will show out in the classroom. The effort does not have to necessarily be schoolwork-related, but can also be character-based. This can be setting home rules for your child, teaching them manners, giving simple chores, and being a good example of how to act and deal with things for them to follow.
