[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holton Arms does.  They start early in lower school with planners and prep but in 7th grade (first year in middle) they have TFL class (tools for life) once a week.  It is basically study skills and common sense skills to get you to better plan your time, homework, activites and life. Beyond basic study skills, they all figure out what type of learner and test taker they are.  They talk about managing stress, balance activities with homework and so forth.  This teacher also works indirectly and directly with the kids on a personal basis if needed. [b] It was HEAVEN for my daughter who barely needed to study to get good grades and then quickly become overwhelmed with studying/time management. [/b] This teacher meets with her every week to go over how she is using her planning, managing her homework, where the red flags are etc... Yes, we teach her at home but sometimes we are just annoying nagging parents and a teacher stepping into help made all the difference.  [/quote]

This happens to many kids in middle school.  I'm impressed that Holton recognizes this and takes a proactive approach instead of watching them crash and burn.    [/quote]
