How do you prepare your kids to school?

Schooling for kids is fun but on the first day they find it scary, confusing and sometimes traumatic. That’s only because they don’t have any idea what will happen to them in school. They have a lot of questions in mind such as Who will be their teachers?, Are their classmates friendly?, How many hours will they stay inside the classroom without their parents?, etc.

So, it’s the elders’ duty to help these kids realize that schooling is really fun from the first day of classes to the end of the school year.
Hence, I have some tips that hopefully can help parents and teachers.

1. Prepare their things for school together. Your children’s excitement will be doubled if you show them the things they will use in school and let your child organize their things inside their bags.

2. Share the good experiences you had in school. As you share your positive experiences when you were studying, children imagine themselves in the same situation that unexpectedly they want to happen in reality or if it is an achievement they want to reach it as well.

3. Give them idea of what will happen in school. This tip is most appropriate for first timers or transferees. Since they are a little hesitant to come to school on the first day, it’s better to know what to expect in school.

4. Give them assurance. Safety is the first thing you have to assure the children. Tell them that teachers are good, classmates are friendly, different activities will be given and that’s fun, you can also tell them that you are just around (despite the reality that you will be in the office).

5. Make them busy and happy. The teachers’ duty is to provide different activities that will surely make children forget their home for a while. (This will be successful only if parents will cooperate, they have to leave for the teacher to fully take charge of their children).

POOR BOY FROM CAGAYAN MAKES IT BIG IN SILICON VALLEY

How can the Philippines leapfrog from being an exporter of labor, garments and bananas into a technology powerhouse that can outshine India as exporter of innovative new products and software? When will Philippine economic news shift from the usual foreign loans, new taxes, and high budget deficit to technological breakthroughs and the export world-class products? A former poor boy from Cagayan province and now a Filipino technology tycoon in Silicon Valley recently granted us an exclusive interview in his Tallwood Venture Capital office building beside Wells Fargo Bank and near Stanford University. In 1997, Philippine-born Diosdado "Dado" Banatao was honored with the prestigious "Master Entrepreneur of the Year" award sponsored by the Ernst & Young global accounting giant, Inc. magazine and Merrill Lynch.

Enrolment?

After Recognition and Gradation days, parents are facing another year of schooling for their youngsters. For those who have 2nd - 6th graders, it’s very easy to enroll their children since they know already what to do…not mentioning the atmosphere that is so familiar to them and the comradeship they have built for the past years. If they’ll be attending the same school, they would simply bring their report cards and cash with them and alas! They’re enrolled. So easy isn’t it? But for new students as well as transferees, it’s a bit different and uhmmm longer. First, they have to present the requirements being asked by the registrar such as: 1. *original (for verification) and photocopy of child’s Birth Certificate 2. *1x1 identical recent colored pictures 3. photocopy of F-138 showing the latest grades certified by the Principal 4. certificate of Good Moral Character 5. accomplished Recommendation Form 6. **Alien Certification of Registration or Special Study Permit Pay for the tes
