Whitley Bay High School in North Tyneside is offering parents free lessons showing how they can support their children with their homework and exam revision. Parents can feel anxious that they are out of touch with what their children are learning in school. The after-school lessons will include a course on 'Helping Your Child to Learn', in which an educational psychologist will advise parents on how they can make it easier to talk with their teenagers about school and exams. There will be suggestions on how to ask teenagers questions and how to encourage teenagers to talk about any exam worries. For those who feel left behind by new technology, the school is providing a catch-up course on how computers and the Internet can be used to help with lessons and revision.
Students are under more and more pressure over tests and exams.
