Academics Plus Tutoring Center

Perhaps we can all learn a little something from elementary school children.  Students in the classroom in upstate NY are learning to tell their teachers that they need a time out when they are experiencing classroom stress (check out the article: Elementary Students Learn How To Cope With Classroom Stress).  They go to “The Power Control Center” where there are instructions for breathing excercises and relaxation, as well as a mood card to check their progress. 

A young 9 year-old student says that this is a good thing: “if something’s bothering you you don’t lash out at somebody. You don’t have to call somebody a name and hit them.”  

Perhaps we should all practice taking a time out when the going gets tough. It sure is better than lashing out!

Our goal is to make this blog the most helpful and informative blog on Academic Success and SAT preparation. In addition to articles and postings on test preparation, the college application process, study tips and hints, we will also post articles on parenting tips, teen issues and personal development. Please give us your feedback and make comments to our blog!!
