to go to go to

not go to practice tomorrow. Could she change her math class,

not to diminish middle school at all, But unfortunately for her we also have kids in high school and college and we know it only gets more intense.

So we're probably not going to reach in and save her. Help, yes, listen for sure, advocate if necessary,
