Today's Tip for Families

Teens are often more interested in their schoolwork when they can see a link between what they are learning and the world outside of school.

Here are some suggestions to help make this connection with different subjects. If your teen is studying:

Government, look at your tax return together. Discuss the reasons for paying taxes, how they are paid, and the ways taxes affect your family and your community.
A foreign language, watch a movie (with subtitles) in that language together.
Math or accounting, ask your teen to plan your family's budget for one month.
English, discuss the reading. If your teen is reading a novel or a play, ask "What would you do if you were facing a problem or decision similar to the main character's?" Or ask your teen to find a quote that would be great on a T-shirt.
