  • School Troubles for Teens (5-22-2009)

     

    SCRIPT:  I couldn’t believe my ears when a school administrator told me that kids who couldn’t pass his standardized tests were not welcome in his school system.

    Most problems with teens begin to show themselves in junior high and high school. Most kids adapt, fit in, and survive the education process. But many become singled out as “problem kids” because they don’t function well in the educational system.

    For kids who are labeled as a problem, school can be a real nightmare. I tell parents dealing with such kids — many of which are unusually bright — to keep an open mind and to adjust their plans if needed.

    There are other options for high school graduation, like private tutoring, home schooling and even a G.E.D.
