Every Consider a Career as a Teacher?
*NEW Weekly Section - Tips for Parents!
As teens work to be college and career ready, many feel they must earn perfect grades. Of course, your teen should do his/her best. But insisting on perfection is unrealistic. To dial down your teen's stress level:
- Be clear about the message you're sending. You want your teen to do his/her best, not be the best.
- Put college pressure into perspective. Some schools are hard to get into. But there are many great schools out there. Assure your teen you'll help them find one that's the right fit (and so will Garry, Chris and Tracy!).
What's Up Next?
Need a little extra help getting organized for college? There is an app for that!
Up Next sends you simple text messages that remind you to get important things done.
