Please go over your child’s progress report with him/her, sign it, and return it to his/her teacher tomorrow.

Given the choice between ability and hard work as the most important key to success in school (and in life), experts say hard work is hands-down the most important. By finding ways to motivate a child to work hard and make the most of his/ her educational opportunities, parents can help their child use whatever strengths and abilities he/she has now or can develop in the future.
