Would you say it's normal if a child's parent has passed away and they suddenly start failing in school?

yes i think it is completly normal! When you know that your parent passed away than thats all your thinking of. your always sad too. I suggest for the child that lost a parent to skip school for some time and just try to keep your self together! :)

Yeah, unless they absolutely despised their parents. Then they should be acing school.

Yes, they suffered from a personal trauma. When something like that happens, often a person finds it hard to concentrate or put their heart into anything. What the child need is time, and perhaps seeing someone for help and love from the rest of the family.

yes

Ohh def it is normal!! After all that stress of the emotional situation! Try taking him to a counselor to get out and talk about it

Yes, and people should be understandable and the child should be excusable. Tragic moments like that change peoples’ lives. Therapy should be provided.

Yes, that is completely normal. How could someone be concentrating on math when they have to think about their family all the time?

Teachers should understand and be very empathetic.

I’d say that it is normal and completely understandable. How could a child possibly concentrate after such an event.

Yes, i have a friend whose dad died 7 years ago. he failed that year. its perfectly normal and understandable. just talk it out. it helps(:

yeah it is normal
