January 9, 1998 The Press and Standard 5 Nixon Continued from Page 4 needs to choose a time period that does not interfere with other obligations they have. If you play a sport, or have a job after school, or baby-sit for the neighbor's children, don't select this as your study hour. There needs to be uninterrupted time set aside for you to concentrate on only your studies. A study hour is free from the distractions of the television or radio. (As soon as your favorite show or song or even commercial comes on, your concentration is put on pause for a while.) Food should be kept out of study hour an occasional apple or perhaps a soda (a cup of tea or coffee) may be okay but leave the pizza and burgers until dinner time.
I don't think I need to tell you that the telephone should be put out of the room, out the house, down the street, in a different state, during study hour. You cannot concentrate if the telephone is constantly ringing and you are constantly answering it. Never cut short your study time. The idea of the "study hour" is to have a block of time reserved for polishing up the things you have been taught in class. Therefore, you always have something to study.
Do your homework assignments, go over your class notes from the day. If you finish all of this and still have study time left, read a book. Keep that solid time as a ritual, each day, and it will pay off in the future. I have told the students what they need to do. Now for the parents.
Leave the students alone to do their studying! That doesn't mean if a child has a question about something you might be able to help with you don't help. It means, don't ask the students to use their study time to do the dishes or take out the trash or watch little brother or sister. Assigning them chores that break their concentration will undo the positive gains of establishing study hour. Let the household tasks wait until they have finished studying. I can't guarantee that anyone will become a National Merit Scholar by following these steps.
I have seen, however, countless numbers of students over the years markedly improve their grades, and more importantly, change their attitudes about studying. This helps them every day of their lives. (Glenn Nixon is an educator in the Beaufort County School District and a resident of Colleton County.)
