    Will forcing high school kids to make a post-graduation plan actually help them? http://mojo.ly/2pYeL7S pic.twitter.com/9xYU0m4E78

        No, with poor black and brown kids, always choose being punitive over being encouraging, kind, and supportive.

        Since when? Where? A student who has successfully completed 4 years of work should be given her diploma.

        Referring to the transition plan that is implemented after they graduate, whether it be college, vocational training or independent living.

        What if a kid wants to backpack in West Africa or work as a DJ or make jewelry, will those plans be rejected as "unrealistic?"

        Plans start at age 14 & revised annually. I had DACA kids wanting to get their citizenship. Wanna make jewelry? Work toward apprenticeship.

        That's better than me graduating at 17 and let out the door with no clue what I was going to do & then mom kicked me out when I turned 18.

        ...And like most punitive stressors, it will probably backfire and be shredded or burned hours after graduating.

        Yes it will. Especially if the adults who recognize their talent and abilities give them a push in right direction. Wish I had...years ago.

        Oh yes, force always works. Especially with teenagers. Why "make a plan" without support, guidance and follow up. #Mentors

        Sometimes college kids can't decide their careers, how will high school aged kids do it?
