Parent Stories in Written
Parent Stories in Written My son just came home from his first ‘real’ job with his face was black with soot except where he’d wiped away sweat. He’s 17 and slight of build. His hands shake as a side effect of medication. He’s dyslexic and terse, creative and gifted, and this past November, in the beginning of what would have been his junior year in high school, he decided to leave school. Not drop out. Just leave school.

About Parent Stories in Written
Parent Stories in Written As a parent and an educator I had doubts about North Star as a choice for my son Daniel. I read the North Star website and could imagine Daniel exploring interests, growing personal responsibility and developing occupational awareness. Learning, in all the many styles it happens was recognized at North Star. I had doubts, but I could visualize Dan doing well there.
