Bob Blume education and parenting advice
Overview
Secondary school teacher and author Bob Blume has provided various strategies for parents and students to navigate educational environments.
Regarding school-based conflicts, Blume advises parents to avoid spontaneous, emotional phone calls in favor of scheduled appointments. He recommends a ‘24-hour rule’ for digital communication to ensure an objective mindset and suggests using questions rather than direct accusations to facilitate dialogue with teachers.
On the topic of homework, Blume suggests that students may find productivity by starting with easier tasks to establish flow. He notes that homework timing and location should be individualized, as some students benefit from a break after school or alternative workspaces like a dining table. To find the most effective routine, Blume recommends experimentation and open communication with the child. Regarding parental involvement, Blume suggests that while teachers often advise against interference, providing small amounts of feedback can be beneficial if requested by the child.
