Hi Bebe,
I think that many years ago we met for lunch in NYC when you were editing for Walker and Company. You liked my work, but somehow we lost touch. Thanks for the encouragement you gave to me. I continue to write and my two published YA novels are "Waiting To Disappear" and "Praying at the Sweetwater Motel."

Hi Bebe, I know exactly how you feel. I have a grandson, who does not want to go on to school either. He has a job in the building trades. He's a great kid and I know he'll do fine. After 12 years of the present school process, it is no wonder some young people want a break. It's difficult when... more

Bebe, You daughter will do fine just as soon as she realizes that she has many abilities that were not being measured. all her life so far. She must decide just what she wants and how she will get there. There is a way. The book I wrote was for middle grade students, but arguably for adults as well. One mother thanked me for writing it because she said her son was very defeated, but after reading it and talking with her he felt better about himself and better about testing. It's just a little story about a boy, and how he grew to accept himself when somebody else believed in him. She will find herself in a junior college, doing well I think. That system in education is open to those who with a little maturity beyond high school and can succeed. You asked what I think, Bebe and that is my opinion. The book has test taker tips and that might help her. Good luck!
