The Concept of Studying

OK, here's the idea: students are supposed to understand that they need to study new information they get in class. In middle school as teachers we had to tell our students to go home and study or to read over their class notes. Somehow that concept has not been fully in-grained into many students behavioral patterns. I am finding that it is not a common practise by high school students. No one seems to just study anymore!!!

I know I have told many a middle school class to go home and study their notes. I can even here other teachers saying to their students, your homework tonight is to study your notes!!

How do I know this is not happening? Well, I have asked them. So, my new mission to to try to get at least my students into the concept of studying! Wish me luck!
