Jefferson Davis High School
I think this school needs special help. There are too many students with the same troubles in one place. Who do they look up to? Many are being challenged by their peers to do evil things. Many are not understood by their instructors. Teachers and principals are not from where these kids are from and do not understand how to help them. There are many students who need professional counseling to overcome the challenges of their home life and their few career options. There needs to be socializing programs offered in school to teach kids how to behave. Most of these kids are familiar with drug and alcohol addiction first hand. They need help making good choices in life. They need to learn special study skills instead of being left to themselves without a plan. Please give these kids a chance to succeed in life.
