Dear parent,
Kindly take your time to read this👇

I don't know how else to say this to parents, parenting and training up a child is a skill. Like every other skill, it can be learnt. You want to raise a child who excels academically, then get equipped with the right knowledge to back up your desire.

Having a child who excels academically goes beyond pouring anointing oil or screaming "the blood of Jesus."

One of the most powerful tools that can help boost a child's academic performance is your involvement as a parent. Each time I come here to share certain things, I'm sharing from my wealth of classroom experience and daily interactions with parents.

Parents often assume that paying the child's school fees and getting all the necessary books is enough to make a child excel academically. No, it is not enough. There is more!

It's like a car and its owner. Even after you've filled your car with fuel and checked all necessary parts of the car, you still have a part to play before that vehicle can move from one location to another. Your part of driving and controlling the car can not be substituted. It's your sole responsibility.

As a parent, you're a key player in the academic well-being of your child. Education is a collective effort of both the parents, teachers and students. So leaving your part of responsibility will lead to an unbalanced result.

Also, involvement in your child’s education does not begin and end with homework. Yes, I know that's where so many parents get it wrong.

There are many methods you can employ to help your child achieve his or her academic potential. Let me list a few:

-Maintain a positive atmosphere, even when the child isn't doing well. Stop labelling the child with negativity and other demeaning words. Nobody thrives in a place filled with negativity.

-Allow room for mistakes. Mistakes do not mean an end, they serve as an opportunity for the child to learn. Children learn differently, not all children will understand a concept at first glance, some will need to go through it over and over again.

-Create a learning space in your home. You don't need to have a mansion to create a reading space in your home, you can have a small corner in your parlour. Just make sure the child understands the entire setting. This helps the child minimize the number of distractions available, you can create a space at home where it is exclusively for your child to study.

I hope with these few points of mine, I have been able to convince you that education is a collective effort between me (teacher), you (parent) and the child.🤣

Miss Olorunfemi Salome did the face painting

As we all know that learning does not end in the four walls of the classroom, that is why we at FOPIS decided to use the celebration of the independence of our great country, NIGERIA, as a medium to let our pupils know more about the country where they are citizens.
The pupils presented songs, dramas,poems and facts about Nigeria. It was really an interesting moment getting to see the pupils doing something different

As parent you can make or mar your children's life.
Many of the parents did not know that they have the same role to play in the life of their children as the teachers that teaches them in their various school.
Your children's 100% is divided into three. The teachers play 40% roles same as parent, while the child has only 20% roles to play.
If teachers play their role very well between the hours of 8am to 2pm including extra lessons till 5pm. If the child manage to grap 30% from the teachers role and 10 - 15% of his/her own, that very child is below average. Imagine what will happen if parents could play their own role for their own children.
Please can people suggest what will happen if parents play their own role.

You can make or mar the life of your child/children with your attitude and your reaction to whatever happen around you. The school have just resume, help your child/children and their teacher by providing all the necessary things needed in the school. Happy resumption.☺☺
