Here's what some of York County's youth had to say about the challenges and solutions to attendig school.
Their biggest challenges to coming to school were:
- No baby sitter (or unreliable child care)
- Illness of self or child
- Family issues/drama
- Just plain tired
The solutions they came up with were:
- Better access to quality daycare
- Go to sleep earlier to help with exhaustion and better health
- Better access to medical and mental health services
- They recognized they needed to stay motivated to attend
The rewards they came up with if they obtain their short and long term goals:
-personal satisfaction with graduation
- personal satisfaction by staying focused
- better stipends
- use of cell phones during lunch (this was a huge hit!)
- choosing better lunch options (they are not happy with the food)
