Life is complicated… especially for teens. A frustrated mother called me in August after her daughter had failed both the June and August Chemistry Regents exams. I worked with the student on Chemistry all fall, while she was moving ahead with her new classes in school. The result: “Good morning – wanted to let you know that I heard this morning of her passing! With a nice score of 77! She doesn’t even know yet as she is in the middle of a midterm. But I know she will be happy. Thanks again!”
