Many students feel like knowing how to do well in math is an inborn skill, something that can’t be learned. But the truth is that anyone can be successful in math – they just need the right strategies. Over the next few days, we will be investigating tips for Math success! 

Tip #4: Establish a good relationship with your teacher.

High school teachers have up to 175 students, so it’s important to distinguish yourself. During the first week of school, introduce yourself. Let your teacher know that you are interested in her class, and welcome the opportunity to learn. Ask questions that show you’re paying attention. Parents should also introduce themselves, via e-mail or at Parent meetings to teachers. Teachers respond best to students who show that they care about the class.

One third of children are still travelling completely unrestrained in cars

As a mom of two busy kids, I know how time consuming  and annoying it can be to clip the children in to the car every time I leave home.
Checking their seatbelts are snug, their car seats still properly affixed and adjusting everything as they grow - and complain about it all - is trying at times. But, while the chances of us being in a bad accident are low, the chances of them being badly hurt if we did have an accident, are high.

So I do it. But it seems not enough parents do... According to the Automobile Association (AA), too many children remain unrestrained in proper child restraint systems (CRS) in vehicles in South Africa. They say this situation requires better traffic law enforcement and better drivers' education on the necessity of CR systems.

Happily, CRS usage appears to be increasing, but the AA says that too many people rely on seat belts to restrain children, which is neither legal nor safety appropriate.

These findings are from the AA's 2022 Child Restraint System Study released 26 April 2022.

Observational research conducted earlier this year, reviewing the CRS usage of 1000 children at various shopping malls in Gauteng, their Child Restraint Study published in 2022 revealed that although CRS usage appears to be increasing, it is concerning that a third of children are still travelling completely unrestrained.
