[quote=Anonymous]To the Banneker parent of a boy. Please reach out to multiple sources for help. My kids did not end up at Banneker but I spent enough time at the school to feel like the teachers, administrators, and counselors want kids to succeed and will go above and beyond to help with tutoring, office hours, other resources. At another school where I have a struggling student and not much response from a teacher, I reached out to the 9th grade academic counselor. She was very helpful going to the teachers directly and meeting with my child. It has been a lifeline in what I thought was sink or swim by yourself attitude and a lesson in gently pursuing lots of avenues. Don't just transfer out thinking your child just couldn't handle it--these selective schools accepted your child and need to be responsive and accountable to helping him succeed now that he is there.[/quote]
