"I'm ready to return to school for a second chance at my high school diploma, but..." My students typically start off their first days in our program full of excuses as to why they might not succeed in their quest for a diploma. One of the main reasons we hear is that students get frustrated easily and have trouble following along, either because they lack basic skills or they have vision problems, or both. Because they have difficulty following along with instruction, they miss out on a chance at success. I teach young adults, ages 16-25, who did not complete their high school diploma when they were initially enrolled in high school. They have voluntarily chosen to come back to school to work towards graduation. Students enter at all different levels, so essentially our school is a composite of 9-12 graders, depending on how many credits they have received in the past.
