WDYT? in the first few years of school who is responsible, child or parent, for remembering to bring things to school, such as school hat or library bag?
also, when at school, who is responsible for remembering/reminding to take or use things they made need, such as their pencil case or glasses when going to other classrooms or doing work in the class, child or teacher? This post has been edited by imamumto3: 27/11/2012, 07:51 PM |

The child. With a little help from the parents if they are still new to being at school.
The teacher should remind the whole class to make sure they have all their belongings with them. I don't think it should be on the teachers shoulders to check every individual child has everything and to chase up them up on it. |

Kindy I reminded him about EVERYTHING. Now in year 1 he gets 1 reminder. A few times he has forgotten his library bag and been upset. Now he is a little better at putting it in his bag as soon as I remind him
I find teachers do minimal reminding re hats etc. I guess with 22 kids they can't continuously remind him. This post has been edited by luke's mummu: 27/11/2012, 07:54 PM |

It's a gradual transition of responsibility.

The child. It's amazing how capable they can be even in those early weeks of school.

Beginning of kindy - "Go and get your ......... and let's put it in your bag". --Parental responsibility with instructions to child.
End of kindy - "Let's check you've got your......... ready!" --Child responsibility with follow-up by parent. By end of grade 1 "Make sure you've got your homework folder and your hat!" -- Child responsibility, parental reminder. End of grade 2 - "Got everything? Let's go." --Fully child responsibility with a trigger reminder. |

Child
Take it easy - it will come. There will be many lost pencils, hats etc. I guess you just have to let them experience it. That's why write in name on everything. When items are lost - there must be consequences, so there is an incentive not to loose things. Lost uniform item for us = no weekly day out due to item replacement cost. Caught on pretty quickly so big progress there. Also librarians will normally show they are cross about a late book, and will suspend borrowing until its returned or something like that. Teachers will remind the whole class about something eg music lesson, take instrument; sport lesson change into sports uniform or swimming lesson take swim bag etc. Kids will also help each other out. |

The child. With a varying amount of reminders/support from both parent and teacher.
At home ... Start of kinder - pack bag together, check for the important items Now at end of kinder - she packs her own bag, sometimes with a run though by me as we get in the car ("got your reader? your hat? your lunch?") My DDs in yr 3 and 5 usually get "Got everything for today?". Just enough to make them stop and think, run through things mentally. Can't imagine that stopping, as even as an adult, it doesn't hurt to have a reminder We also have a white board on the fridge (good height for the kids), with the days of the week and what we have on. As they are getting ready for the day, I'll often check "Is everyone ready for school?" and suggest checking the whiteboard. It has listed on there homework day, library day, band day etc, so they know the extras they have to bring. And they use it. The school ... Kinder classroom in the morning - all the kids sitting on the floor, the teacher asks "Has everyone put their home reader in the pile? Any lunch orders still in bags? Any notes for me? E, do you have your glasses today? There will also be general reminders to the class "hats in bag please people" Intermingled with the reminders to some individual kids. Because kids are individuals, some are better are remembering things than others, some need a bit more prompting. Oh, and the school definitely takes the attitude that it is the kids responsibility. Child in the playground without a hat T: Where's your hat X? C: Mum forgot to pack it T: Really? WHO forgot to pack it? This post has been edited by Julie3Girls: 27/11/2012, 08:24 PM |

I think child too. My DS knows the morning routine & knows what to take each day.
I was interested after watching & listening to other parents at pick up yesterday. Mother 1: DS has left his lunchbox behind again, why doesnt teacher make sure that the kids have their lunch boxes when the come back from lunch. mother 2: apologised to her DD because she (mother) forgot it was library day so didnt pack library bag & child didnt get to borrow a book. mother 3: was annoyed with the teacher as her child was not reminded to use his glasses during class and therefore a whole day of work (while doing assessments) had been a waste of time. & in the morning, teacher told child he would have to play in the shade as he had forgotten his hat, child got upset & said mummy forgot to pack it and teacher explained sternly that he should have remembered as it is his responsibility. The mothers that I were talking to thought it was rough on the child, as he is only in year 1 and how is he meant to remember everything. |
