Promising Futures School

While reading this it was a little dry but I liked how it showed some of the real life situations of how the different aspects of a Promising Futures school worked. I have a feeling something this rather works out really well or it could be just another thing that a school is trying to do that fails. The school that I’m tutoring at is trying to start becoming a Promising Futures school. Some things are working out well like freshman mentors, where the group of freshmen are suppose to meet up with the mentor once a month and they discuss their grades and what ways they can make their grades better. It seems to be working for some of the students, especially the ones who have mentors that are really involved, BUT for the other students its just another thing they have to go to. I think the idea behind Promising Futures is an awesome idea but I think that you need to have the teacher and student support behind it also.
