The house-school connection, affective situations and the importance of a good atmosphere in class.

Hello readers, here I am once again and today I think it’s really clear what I’ll be talking about. In today’s entry I will highlight the importance that the nearest social environment has in the development of our students, as I usually do I will give my opinion about the three topic mentioned in the title and I will talk about all this by offering some personal experiences in this area.

Recently in class we’ve talked about the house-school connection and how this link affects our students. Well I remember that when I was younger and even now, my family always paid attention about my progress with studies because it’s really important for them that I work hard for my future and this attitude shown by my parents have always helped me to improve in my studies. When I was at primary school I remember my mother sitting next to me helping while I was doing my homework, or asking me the contents for the next day’s exam or even asking me for an explanation when teachers called my attention when I forgot my homework and that was something that really helped me stay in the right path and that nowadays I’m glad that my parents were so conscious about my studies. I think that establishing a great home-school connection, not only benefits the student to be more encouraged and backed while studying, but also helps the school and the parents to know more about the students or to help each other when they’re in need. In this case I also remember when my parents went to my high school to help for carnival or when some of my teachers came to see me at the hospital when I was sick.

In this way I think that affective situations between students and teachers can encourage and engage students into the teacher’s lessons because they give a major grade of significance to what the teacher is saying. In this case even now I pay more attention to the teachers who are nice to me than to the ones that just simply explain their concepts and don’t establish social connections with you.

Finally, creating a good atmosphere in class between students and with the teachers, helps the pupils and the school to decrease the risk of problems we can have in class but also increases the possibilities of having the help of students when the school is in need in the period of Christmas and different festivities, which benefit both parts.

So creating a safe and close relation (respecting the distances) between students, teachers and parents, can help the three parts to increase the possibilities of success of students but also could mean that school and parents will help each other when they’re in need.

Do you agree with what I’ve just said, let me know please, your opinion is so important to me!
