In serious need of help for my son, we are in need of donations, my son will be starting year 9 next year or high school.

I’m from Christchurch New Zealand, he would like to attend Hagley high, the school is on the other side of town and he will not be able to attend the school as it is so far away we do not have a car and we can not leave where we are until the debt of $20,000 is paid off, this school seems to be the only good school for him to attend with his learning problems, i will also attend the school to help my son progress but am in need of some help for him, is there anyone out there that can help in my quest so that he can have the best education possible he is now 12, the debt of course is my fault and letting him suffer for something i have done is so unfair on him.

Hello there, since he was quite little he did not catch on as well as some of the other children, he can not read properly or spell very well, the schools they tell us to send him to are very hard schools he will not be able to attend mainstream, he will need a school for where he can feel safe and learn at his own pace, thankyou for your mail.

there is only one solution, my friend. and by the way…based on all the internet scamming, this is really the LAST place you should be looking for a “donation.”

ok, first off… 99 percent of schools’ “special programs” are ridiculously ineffective. and the few that aren’t are waaay too expensive for even the upper tier working-class to afford.

if you feel your child has a learning disability here, then here is the solution:

1. keep him away from any television, or at least severely limit his “viewing time.”
instead, provide him with other forms of entertainment that STIMULATE thought-not NULLIFY it. (hobbies and sports and such)
2. make sure he is getting sufficient exercise and nutrition

3. ok, now here is the big one: READ

i can’t stress this one enough…

MAKE IT ROUTINE for your child to read twenty minutes every single night before he goes to bed (not including homework). reading is the key to all academic study. the better your child can read, the better he will be at the sciences, the arts, and even athletics. there is nothing in the world that improves brain function better than persistent and diligent reading. make him read. make him read. make him read. and also explain to him why reading is so important. then also be sure to give him assurance… don’t let him think he has a “disability.” in all reality, he most likely doesn’t. explain to him that, with continuous reading, in only a few years time, he will surpass every kid in his class and possibly even the school. don’t let him get discouraged when he is struggling or experiencing frustration during reading. a good analogy for explaining this to your child would be likening progression to a pianist… and the boring repetitive scales and finger exercises he must play over and over and over before finally performing his work before an audience. assure him that he is progressing, and that progression is a gradual thing that he will not notice right away.

either way… new school or not, the majority of your child’s progress is going to depend on you as a parent and the extent of your own dedication
