@nytimes@anemonanyc how do we prevent stories like TaTy's from being so common? how do we let counselors know how to get help? -
makes me think of a comment i heard about microgrants for test prep and trying to figure out how to make that a thing @deanburdick

"After two weeks of practice, TaTy raised her score to 18, a huge leap, to the 39th percentile from the 26th."

And, she never heard of saving for something? Budgeting?

you ever heard of being poor&unable to afford expenses outside of necessity? What she's never heard of is ACT waivers
