I Wish My Parents Knew
This summer, I did some research outside a tutoring point. As high schoolers poured out of the center, I handed a piece of paper that read, “I Wish My Parents Knew”
And here are some generic common answers to the survey.
–
High school is harder than they think
I hate math
High levels of stress and too much work
The diff friend groups and how social media works
How hard high school is
I don’t like Spinach
Spanish is hard
The difficulties of school
When my class ended
What an AP workload was like
And the one that made me the most sad, “I hate my mom’s cooking.”
