Can your child see the board clearly?
As students head back to school in Franklin, Emporia, and Suffolk, clear vision is essential for learning success. Many learning difficulties actually stem from undiagnosed vision problems.
Warning signs to watch for:
-Squinting or sitting too close to the board
-Frequent headaches after school
-Complaints about blurry vision
-Difficulty copying notes from the whiteboard
-Poor reading comprehension or avoiding reading
Why it matters: When children can't see the board clearly, they miss critical information, fall behind in class, and may struggle academically through no fault of their own.
