School Issues
Quote From: problemoI am a 14 year old Freshman in high school and my mom is very controlling towards my whole family, everyone is sick of her. we usually just put up with it and roll our eyes. but , recently things have gotten out of hand. You see, I want to attend this college prep course called AVID. my dad thinks its wonderful, but, my mother doesn't think its necessary to recieve an education when I could just stay home and clean all day. All my teachers and councelers are being really flexible in helping me fit AVID into my schedule. any ideas to help convince my mother to let me stay in AVID? I am an AVID teacher. The program is a wonderful opportunity for teens who are college bound. They will get exposure to things beyond the normal curriculum. There is service work involved, college campus trips, work experience trips, and speakers who share with students their experience and how college helped them get where they are today. It is an excellent course!
