Whether this article applies to Title I students making it to college remains a question in my mind. I'd like you, the reader, to reflect on the content. Dan Jones, the President of the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors indicates that new freshman haven't had the opportunity to struggle. The ability to solve problems and being resourceful seems to be lacking. The reason stated is that high school students haven't developed resilency because parents and teachers have jumped through hoops for them. However, I beg to differ, although teachers have certainly helped students grow, but many parents of Title I students don't have that capacity to do so, that is, being helicopter parents.
Your thoughts are appreciated. What do you see as the problem?
