First have a think about WHY you don\’t want to go to school. What is stopping you from going there? Or is something holding you back at home? Have a think about whether there are problems with people, teachers, school friends (or lack of them), someone else, etc. How about schoolwork? Have a think about whether you are finding schoolwork too easy and maybe getting bored? Or perhaps the work is too hard, or you have missed out on something and can\’t catch up? Maybe you have difficulty completing homework or projects? Are you having difficulty studying for exams? Alternatively, are there problems at home that are on your mind or that mean you feel you have to be at home instead of school?
Writing down your likes and dislikes about going to school can be helpful. It means you can work out what any difficulties might be so you can work on those. And you can see which things you like and improve on those too. Going to school can have its good points. Learning how to get with other people is an important lesson to learn. And even mixing with other people just on a daily basis can help you learn about that, almost without having to think about it. The give and take of daily talk with your classmates has an important part to play in helping you develop your own take on life and learning to argue logically for your point of view, as well as listen thoughtfully to others. It is also important in learning how to get on with people.
Another important positive benefit in going to school is that physical exercise is normally included. Now not everyone agrees in that being positive! But exercise helps you learn, as well as teaches you co-operation with others and helps keep you fit and healthy. These aspects can all be found elsewhere, besides school but that often means making a deliberate effort to seek out opportunities which could already be part of everyday school life. There can be a downside to school of course. And that might be a reason you don\’t want to go. Some subjects or teachers may be boring. Some ideas are difficult to grasp.
Changing minus points into positive ones is not as easy as it may sound. Change can be hard because it means taking action now, for the promise of something good in the future. That\’s not always easy to do or to keep up but it is very worthwhile. Taking action means deciding on a goal and starting to work towards it. This needs to be something concrete, such as improving school attendance.
If your attendance record is not good, you could make your goal to be to improve that by a certain amount. For instance if you have only attended school for 50% of last term, your goal might be to attend for 75% (three quarters) of the time next term. On the other hand, you may want to set a goal for the marks you want to get in a test or exam, or for actually completing and putting in homework or set work.
If you need to improve your school marks, again you need to set achievable goals and keep at them. This might include a goal of learning 10 spellings or vocabulary words a day. Or it might mean doing an extra amount of homework each day. If you want to improve your people skills, you could join a club and set a goal of attending weekly and taking part in something. If you already belong to a club, you might set a goal of doing some work in the club, such as organising an event.
