1. You are not stuck. Just scared of the potential consequences + what you'll have to feel.
One of our core goals at Alpha is simple: kids should love coming to school. And guess what? It’s happening. Our Austin high school students voted to have summer school in 2025. Not the parents. Not the teachers. The students.
