High School students often face huge challenges when the reality of how much they are required to read becomes clear and striving for success means actually doing the reading is necessary and unavoidable. I have taught thousands of high school students several different subjects over the last 15+ years. As a result, I feel confident saying I have seen every kind of student with every variation of mixtures of attitudes, challenges, and issues out there. I am proud to say that there has not been a single one of those students whom I have not been able to not only help, but also inspire in them a desire to read and write. This course will not be like any you or your student has run across before; and, even though they may be voicing their frustration from the moment you hit the registration button all the way until they arrive at class the first time - I can assure you they will leave that first class excited about the next one!
