The students who spoke at our local school board meetings about their opinions on courses for accelerated and minority learners were the most persuasive to me.

We have to educate them on how to advocate for themselves, and how to find compromise. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05880106055269169399noreply@blogger.com
