    informative and resourceful

  2. Britteny – YOUNGSTOWN CITY SCHOOLS (verified owner) –

    This was helpful in clarifying the differences between discipline problems and motivation problems. A lot of it is self-explanatory and seem simple, but is also often forgotten. It was helpful to have the information presented in such a way and given with a variety of resources to use on our own.
