Here’s another good candidate for DWPC: LS He’s 16, but a 9th grader: got held back in 3rd grade when he came to U.S from Mexico; he is now a 9.5 with almost no credits. He told me he struggles in reading and was told he was dyslexic. He said he wants to go to Mesa and “thinks” he applied. He is from EAHS.
He’s hanging on here at Summer School.
Another one is EE, 17 years old a cheerleader at SRHS. Afraid to leave the cheerleading squad because she said she would owe $600. Has only 45 credits.
talked with MD, math teacher extraordinaire: no referrals. He says he just trys to help make it work for students. Some teachers are just too controlling, too demanding for this type of student. They have troubled lives and need a calm, safe reasonable place. Some of us are just too crazy and the kids can't take it.
