[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advocating for themselves[/quote] Shouldn't this be something they learned already in HS? Our children's schools started expecting this in MS. It was fully expected in HS.[/quote] It's a continuing skill, not something you learn and then have mastered. MS students are better self advocates than toddlers; we expect HS students to increase the range of situations in which they can advocate for themselves and college students even more. No one of any age can effectively self advocate at all times (that's why we have lawyers)[/quote] Not to mention, you know, the effects of the pandemic. I hope that this year's seniors are better off than last year's, who missed an entire year of in-person learning and in-school experiences that were critical for their development.[/quote]
