Top Signs of Trouble in Eighth Grade

For many students, this is the last year to catch up on poor reading, writing, and math skills. If they don't, many will leave high school without graduating. Students who are not motivated to succeed in school will have trouble handling assignments this year and in high school.

Your child will have trouble if she's not able to:

Use the computer as a research and word processing tool.

Handle homework without prodding or assistance.

Communicate easily with her teachers.

Demonstrate good, solid study skills.

Skillfully express herself in words and in writing.
