Getting Help When Tamika Found Out That She Was Failing Algebra

Getting Help When Tamika Found Out That She Was Failing AlgebraWhen Tamika found out that she was failing algebra, she immediately sought out help. She didn't know what to do. Her teacher had told her to turn in homework and then came up with this plan: to ask her friend for help. All of a sudden, everyone's in on a secret.The teacher was a very sweet person, but everyone knew she was not the best tutor. Tamika thought that even if she asked her friend, it wouldn't do any good. Maybe that was why she just cried.'I can't believe that everyone is getting together and planning a surprise party.' Tamika told me as we watched the group coming to a circle around her.She hoped to be better at the next test, but what choice did she have? She had no idea how to approach her teacher. She really wanted her to tell her the truth.I watched her sitting alone in the chair as her teacher began to open up. The teacher was going to tell her.Everyone was quiet. At first, there was no secret. Tamika did n't know it, but that was the beginning of a two-day party. It was the one year anniversary of when her first friend, a girl named Beverly, found out that she was failing algebra. Tamika and Beverly, who also had learning disabilities, kept in touch after that.Youdon't need to go to a beach to find your friends, so you could ask for help every time. You could just make a plan. It could take some effort, but the rewards will be great.
