I am asking this question because there are several reading programs out there for struggling readers. School districts pay a lot of money to get reading teachers trained in reading interventions and I want to be trained in the most effective reading program for my students.

Should I get a job while I’m in high school?

All of my friends are getting jobs while I’m just sitting here jobless. I always use the excuse that I don’t think I would be able to handle it but their counter it always that it is good to have work experience before you go to college.
