Ms. PTT (38 years old, lives in Go Vap District, Ho Chi Minh City) said that in recent days she had to “finish off” her children with the above sentence. Ms. T said, “Children often prefer to play rather than learn.”
“Son, it’s time to go back to school!”
After seeing the newspaper published in Ho Chi Minh City, students of all levels returned to school on August 28, Ms. Tee informed her children: “Children, there is a schedule to go back to school!”. In contrast to her enthusiasm, this year’s oldest 9th grader only said the one word “yes,” while this year’s youngest, who was in 5th grade, always answered: “I love spending summer like this.” Is!”.
Ms T. explained: “When you’re at home for a long time, kids get used to it, but when they go to school, they have lots of friends, they like it straight away”. In order to kick-start the “spirit of learning” in preparation for returning to school after more than two months of summer vacation, Ms. T runs a bookstore to buy her children textbooks, notebooks, school bags, school supplies, and shoes. Took it to the shop.
He also sent the children to school to buy uniforms because “kids grow up fast at this age”. On the one hand, for the children to try on, they will be able to choose the right size for their uniform, and on the other hand, I also want to take them to school so that they understand that “my mother and daughter are preparing” “To get their kids back to school.
In the summer, when they can stay at home and play a lot, watch a lot of TV, eat as much as they want, and sleep in, the thought of going to school all day too soon makes them “shudder.” To take a step towards this change, Ms. T. reminded her children to look through their textbooks first, and she even let them do some exercises in the review section so they could get used to revising them.
Children often go to bed late, wake up late the next day, eat breakfast late when they stay at home with grandparents in the summer. But starting this week, Ms. T. has trained her children to teach live activities to wake up early, go to bed early, have breakfast early…, be on time for school so that the school day is not an idle one, no Late for school…
And Ms. NTP (36, lives in Binh Thanh district) said she also bought textbooks and uniforms for both of her children. In addition to reminding both children to review their homework and eat well to return to school in good health, the couple is also discussing pick-up and drop-off of their two children.
Last year, both of Ms. P.’s children attended Nguyen Dinh Chieu Primary School (Binh Thanh District), right next to her home, so it was easy for her and her husband to pick up and drop off their children. And this year, with the first child in Class 6, studying at Tran Van On Secondary School (District 1), the couple will have to split up and take one child each. Normally this is fine, but I just dread that when I get caught up with work, the other person has to “run in” to pick up both kids.
She and her husband have to register for extra-curricular classes at the school for their children’s studies before coming back to pick up their children.
When the family lives in one place, works in two places and three children study in three districts…
TPQ and her husband work in Districts 8 and 5, live in Thu Duc city, but their three children study in three places. This year the eldest child is in grade 12 at Bui Thi Xuan School (District 1), the middle child is in grade 9 at Van Don Secondary School (District 4), and the youngest child is 3 years old at District 5 preschool.
In the summer, the children may stay up late no matter what, but now that they are preparing for the new school year, Ms. PQ must always remind the whole family, “The new school year is coming, hurry up.” Remember to get up”. Not only the kids, even Ms. PQ has to get up early to prepare breakfast for the kids.
Ms. Q said that in the new school year, Ms. Q would get up early in the morning to make breakfast, put it in boxes for each person, and then the whole family would get in the car. Her husband is like a driver who stops the car at several stations, takes their three children to school, takes his wife to the office, and finally drives to District 8 to work. This year, Ms. Q’s family has two children in the last grade of high school.
Since the beginning of the summer, she has sent her children to several “review” classes. Now to prepare for the new school year, I have to sit down with my kids and see which classes will be effective, which classes that are not effective should be cut. Also, when entering the school year, how to arrange additional lessons so that they do not overlap.
These days, Ms. Pth (44, lives in Phu Nhuan District) and her two children set goals for the new school year, in addition to rebuilding habits such as buying books, eating according to the school schedule and sleeping let’s sit. it . He and his children made a scientific and specific plan. Which subjects do you study well, which subjects don’t study well, which books you need to learn, and how to learn… My sister and two children both have notebooks to record.
In addition to the study plan, she and her two children also schedule sports training (swimming, walking), even scheduling the children’s play for the week right after the new school year. The number 1 goal she sets to work for her children is “health is always number one”. Ms. H. believes that staying healthy is essential to learning well, so children must eat proper food and exercise, follow a clear study plan, and allow children to relax and have fun Time should also be given.
Her family’s “big” goal in the new school year is to make every day of school a happy day for their kids.
Concerns about “falling budget”
“The new school year involves a lot of shopping and contributions, which is a concern for many parents when their children are preparing to enter the new school year” – Ms. NTH (41 years old, District 4 Lives in) shared. Her husband works as a gas station attendant at a gas station, she works in a ward in the city. It is very difficult to raise two children with the earning of husband and wife.
Every year, every summer, when the kids don’t have to go to school or take extra classes, she saves money to go shopping and contribute to her kids’ preparation for the new school year. Their eldest child is in 7th standard, the younger one is in 5th standard. The textbooks and school materials he bought for his two children also cost in lakhs, not to mention that he has to buy uniforms, pay school fees and pay for class funds…
