reminder
A sweet 10th grade student, in one of the classes I volunteer in, got her progress report today… she has a 0.00 GPA. And so do most of her classmates. She tells me she’s been getting Fs since 6th grade and that it’s hard for her to focus… so she doesn’t do her work -to read a 5th grade level article - because it’s difficult. Her dad calls her stupid and makes her feel afraid at home. She also doesn’t want to do the writing assignment because she’s scared of what she writes will sound stupid. She wants to be a nurse or a social worker.
Playing fields are not fair. What can you do? Don’t give up.
