AVID

AVID:  Advancement Via Individual Determination?  What do you think about the program?  For those who do not know what AVID is it is a class that students take to gear them up for college!  Most of the students placed in AVID are "C" or average students that need a small push to gear them up for college.  Many of these students would be first generation college students.  The program visits colleges, does college projects, teaches time management, how to take notes using Cornell notes and pushes kids to excel in their classes.   The AVID coach checks up on students making sure they are doing what they need to do in their class.  Do you think that AVID is a good program?  Or does it leave to many kids laking the push they may need for college as only a few classes of AVID at a school are usually offered.
