I think you bring up a very good point when you address the adults in an adolescent's life. So often we rely on ourselves to teach students, but we forget that it is equally important to find OTHER adults, particularly parents/guardians, who CAN have a vested interest in an adolescent's life. Yes, adolescence is a time of tumultuous change, but that underscores how important it is for adolescents to have consistency in their lives. Consistent attention from adults (since they have experienced adolescence) inside and outside of the classroom can help to NURTURE adolescents as they grow into successful adults. I think we stop the nurturing process once children step out of elementary school for good, but nurturing should continue way beyond that. One or two adults cannot do it all!
