It was great!
Angie – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
I think it is important for us to recognize that our high achieving students can be struggling with mental health. It doesn’t always present itself in the ways we think it might. One of my big takeaways from this course is that we may be encouraging behavior in high achieving students that may diagnose a student who struggles academically.

The course is not bad but the quiz questions number one and two are very confusing. You need to choose more than one answer in both.

The presenter was very entertaining while presenting some very complex student behavior in a very short time.
