I guarantee you they weren't taught nonsense during these courses. You play the game in high school in order to win the game beyond high school and take up a decent course (on your major or not). Sounds like your kids didn't know the purpose of education and customwritingz.net assignment writing services online. My son's high school has an early college program where you can get an associates degree while in high school. |
