These behavior problems may compromise their later chances in school. Young children who are emotionally unstable and attend school while persistently sad, withdrawn, or that have disruptive behaviors may receive less instruction.

Assignment 5 After receiving a nice big D on my first paper in my AP English class I realized maybe my writing process needed some improving. In high school I always thought of myself as an ok writer. I would always do the assignment and get an A or a B and I would be satisfied. Then I reached my junior year, and I was in A.P.
