Freshies and Academics



Many freshman argue that teachers put too much work on them. I decided to interview some students and teachers about their plan to prevent freshman from having academic assistance.

Andrea: "Well, I think we should all put more effort in homework and in how we prepare for test and quizzes."
Annonymous teacher: "I would be willing to work with students after school, if necessary, however students should be willing to stay and ask questions if they need help. We as teachers cannot read minds and guess they need assistance."

I think it is a good start. However if students nor teachers cooperate, the list of AA for freshman will definitely be longer. Although I think Academic Assistance is very helpful and could probably be encouraging for freshman, nevertheless, it is not so good for freshies to be in AA.
