"I knew my son needed the extra help. We just didn't know where to start. From the second day, I knew that Applied Scholastics Hollywood was going to be very helpful when Noah was excited to come in for tutoring. On the second week, I was reading something on social media to Noah, when he asked me to let him read it. I almost cried.

I see the big improvement in his reading, but especially in him. The way he carries himself, now that he understands more when he reads - M.A, mother

Since starting his tutoring I see a lot of progress. His attitude is better. He is more responsible. He is connected to his work. He doesn’t have to be reminded to do it. He is very comfortable with his math. At school my son was awarded most improved student. Things are going in the right direction. You have an awesome teacher, Sergio. I feel so grateful to have him working with my children. My kids are comfortable. What you are doing is worth it. -B.U. Mother

A few days ago Kenny for the first time grabbed 10 tiny books and started reading them to me, all without my help. I was super excited that I didn’t want him to notice how excited I was. I just told him, “Keep reading. Keep reading”. I can’t describe how emotional that made me. After so long, trying to help him I see some progress. I am beyond words. Kenny is in this program 12 hours, only. This makes me so excited. Thank you my faith is returning after so long. - R.C.

On Being "Behind"

Susie is six and can’t count to thirty without missing a few numbers. Johnny has almost finished eighth grade but hasn’t started pre-algebra. “Oh dear, oh dear, my child is falling behind.”

Just as one child can be given the label “Attention Deficit Disorder” because some adults cannot tolerate his activity level, so can another child be given the label “behind” because he does not match up with some adults’ scholastic expectations.

The definition of “behind” that applies from the unabridged Random House Dictionary is: In the state of making less progress than.

The question parents and teachers must ask themselves is, “making less progress than whom?” When we think this through, we see it is no different than asking “being more active than whom?”

The adults in a child's life should be careful not to put their own expectations or worries about academic progress on their child. The truth is a child is uniquely himself; activity level, scholastic aptitude, cleverness, imagination and every other attribute must be gauged against the individual. When this is understood, labeling a child is no longer appropriate.

Perhaps you understand this concept perfectly and prohibit anyone from labeling your child — but your child labels himself? What can you do?

When a child considers that he is behind, it is because he is comparing himself against someone else or others, rather than against his own potential. This situation must be addressed: you don't want your child feeling unhappy or embarrassed or to lose self-respect because he thinks he's “behind.”

Talk with him. Let him know that we all have strengths and weaknesses. Don't evaluate for him. Listen and find out what he considers his strengths and weaknesses to be. You may, of course, guide him to ensure he does not dwell only on weak points.

Then let him know that he need not compare himself to anyone else. Discuss that when one is “behind” in something, it is because he considers that he could have done more than he did, or he planned to do more and didn't get it all done. What is important here is his consideration about himself and his actions.

Give him the example that if one considers he is behind in his chores it is because he didn't get them all done. In the case of chores, he can simply complete them right away or devise a step-by-step plan to complete them in the near future.

The same is true of learning. If one wishes to know the capital of California, he can simply look it up in an atlas right now; if he wishes to know the capital city of each state in the union, he can devise a plan to research them over a period of time. Have your child give you examples of setting goals and working toward them until they are accomplished. Have him give you examples of how he can apply this to his education. Help him to see that although others can guide him, he is ultimately responsible for being “ahead” or “behind” where he wants to be.

The bottom line - a student should only be in competition with himself. Your child will probably be relieved to know education is not a competitive sport and that he need not judge himself by the accomplishments of others.

At this point, you can show your child how easy it is to use one's strengths to overcome areas of difficulty. He simply needs to find a strong purpose (a good reason) to conquer the difficulty, a decision (intention) to actually conquer it, and the willingness to work at it (practice or drill) until he succeeds. Discuss this with your child and listen to his ideas. Such discussions should increase your child's confidence and help him to be more at home with himself.- by Carlynn McCormick Applied Scholastics Online Academy

A child's right to Contribute

"When a man is able to contribute as much or more than it is being contributed to him he feels able and competent. When he is unable to successfully contribute in return, he feels insecure and incapable. A man can over-contribute and feel secure in an environment. He feels insecure the moment he under-contributes which is to say, gives less than he receives. If you don’t believe this, recall a time when everyone else brought something to the party, but you didn’t. How did you feel? A human being will revolt against and distrust any source which contributes to him more than he contributes to it. ” - L. Ron Hubbard
