College Bound: Importance of academic challenge

Christine Hall of CMH College Consulting has been with us for the past few weeks sharing tips on the college process.

Hall is a former high school teacher and administrator who has been helping teenagers and their parents figure out what the best college fit is for them.

Today, Hall (who is no relation to me) tackles the topic of academics and how to make sure your child is being challenged in his classes. Hall tells me that middle school is the time for kids to master basic reading and math skills so they can be prepared for more challenging courses in high school.

And check back here next Wednesday for a final tip from Hall.
