Just saw Haegan’s great essay that was published in the AJC yesterday: “Standard question to students: Where are you going to college? Not a standard answer: I’m not” This guy really needs an A+ on his Senior Project. (Or whatever the @#$%^ IB equivalent is–12 on a scale of 1-8 with 12 indicating that rubrics, GPA conversion, criterion descriptors, boundaries, and other edu-measures are all irrelevant when you’ve done something this neat.)

I don’t think Haegan is going to have any trouble with applying to any college, program, activity, position he wants!

Great idea! I hope someone carries on the legacy next year…

This is a great idea to offer alternatives to college. Not everyone is suited for college. I have a son with a special need and I get sick thinking … “How is he going to make it?” “Will he be able to support himself?” There just has to be a different and productive path(s) for him. Thank you so much for organizing this event. We will be there with bells on!

Being your child’s friend is essentially enabling their long-term dependence upon you.

And to AHiD’s post with the book titles; I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Thanks for the support! This is my senior project and I’m hoping to get a good turnout and provide info for students and parents. The event is open to students of all schools, anyone interested is welcome to attend!
