Ways To Have A Successful High School Career:
A School Counselor's Perspective
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Ninth grade is not the time to deal with issues and concerns by yourself. Please speak to your parents or your counselor if you are having issues in school. Communication is one of the best tools you can have while in high school. Have a good relationship with your teachers. Talk to them before and after school. Let them know you care about your grades and their classes. Trust me, the communication you have with your teachers carries a lot of weight. Sometimes, it can mean the difference between an “A” or a “B.” If you do not understand why you received a certain grade, talk to your teacher and have him or her show you how you earned your grade and ways to improve. Ask your teacher for a possible retest and a study session. The questions you should ask are: How can I improve this grade before the next grading period? Can you and I meet for a study session? Will I be able to take a retest? Do you think I will be able to earn a passing grade in this class?

Also, parents would seek guidance from Robyn because they were unsure on how to best help their child. Robyn hopes this book will be the first of many to help students and parents of children who are in high school.
