High School Choice: Calm and Clear

This two hour talk will prepare you for the NY High School Fair and tours in the fall, as well as help you cull the giant directory. The Dept. of Education has many good programs and publications, but this talk is from the point of view of a parent who has been there and understands what you need to know and why. I am currently developing a second session just for kids, to address their concerns and talk turkey about the specific schools. Watch this space.
I describe the process quickly and clearly without the deadly powerpoint used elsewhere.
This talk is designed for families of college bound students.
I give you a practical strategy to organized and manage the search.
I help you understand how to interpret the data that is available.
I give you resources to streamline your search.
I give you tough love and options.
I focus on what you need to know and when from a parent's point of view.
I give you a little advice on what the high school choice means for the college search.
I cover schools that would be a possible commute for students living in Brooklyn or Manhattan. Including Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens high schools.
