The issue that I the most frustrating one of the most frustrating issues that I come across frequently is the students ability to get to school I have on several occasions tried to implement a car pool program, but a huge percentage of our student body is not willing to participate. The Las Vegas area is unique. The local bus transportation often finds our students that live only minutes away bar car (20-30) will take up to 3 hours if not more to get to school not to mention the cost is sometimes up to $80.00 + dollars to have… >>>

The hardest part

For me at least I find it the most difficult to help a student, when they do not self-identify, because of FIRPA it is seek out a troubled student, because we may violate their rights, and insult or embarrass them.

Stress

It would be nice if there was a class or once a block training session to (a round table if you will) have an open discussion that the students could sign up for, they may find that they are not alone and have more in common with their fellow student. They may find answers to their questions. For example, a very real issue is not meeting not just the schools expectations, but their own as well. This type of forum may help them to meet students they can study with, and open up a whole new realm of possibilities and… >>>

Generation Gap

I for one can tell you that I fall somewhere in-between the YOUNGER and the OLDER generations. But still being behind on the times has made it far more difficult to succeed and fit in with the “younger” students. It takes a lot of questions and prying to get answers to questions about technology that may come easier to the younger kids, although now more than say ten years ago, it is far easier to navigate through a web site do to the boom of technology just in the past ten years.
