An opportunity to get organised
The current situation means that students have more free time than before. As a parent, you can ensure that your child makes the most of the circumstances by getting organised. Some ideas that you can employ are:
sorting books and folders into subjects - order some new folders online and colour code notes by subject
helping sort out your child’s school email inbox - it is likely to be clogged up with unread emails and clearout is easy to do
creating timetables for work or revision - whether it’s doing it the old-fashioned way on paper or designing a colour coded table on Excel, timetables are vital to being organised
organising your child’s workplace - tidy up any unnecessary objects on their desk: if they are odd pencils and pens, place them in a draw or a holder, or if they are sheets of paper, file them away in a folder
These are just some of many fantastic methods that can help not only in the short term during the home-schooling period in lockdown, but also in the long run, after the end of lockdown.
