I dunno' those answers. Mamas should be supportive to anything as long as it's in the educational realm. I never ever been objective to what my four daughters learned whether in or out or High School. They were honor students and had no mom as I had legal custody and was a single parent until my wife came along. My wife Sandy is one half Mass. Wampanoag Indian and 11 years older than my oldest daughter. She was a great step mom and all of them were like sisters. They were straight kids in and out of school. I let them read whatever they wanted including those underground papers from Harvard College. I told that much to their principal about those papers. My wife lost her hearing totally many years ago. I learned ASL American Sign language with her and that's considered another language. She reads lips expertly and her voice and speech remained normal. Being a single parent I got the two oldest into college and one has a BA and the other a MFA, both are teachers. I did all this on military pay so I know it all and been around the block a few times. Some kids have it rough as some parents don't quite understand their kid's wants and needs. I came from the school of hard knocks. I was thrown out of HS and finally accepted back on tip toes. My teachers told me I'd be a downtown bum and a drunk. Well I got through school, a navy career, some college and raised a family. I married at age 20. Owned my home at 23 and raised a family. Some can do it, some cannot. Just strive to do the best you can. At 18 you got a lot of years ahead of you and they go fast. Decide what you want out of life and work on it...Russ
