  By middle school young people have become skilled at making excuses. "I didn't know..." "No one told me..." "I didn't have time..." and so on. But by this age it is time to accept responsibility and give up the excuse habit. Program follows the stories of three teens who learn the hard way that completing assignments and doing what's expected is part of growing up. This program challenges students to think about why having a good excuse isn't the same as accepting responsibility, and can have regettable consequences. DVD and 23-minute video, teacher's guide in 3-ring binder. |
