Summary
Is school only about grades — or is there something more important your teen is learning there? In this episode, Mark, Wayne and Heartlight Counselor Courtney LaFleur explore the bigger purpose of school.

They also discuss what to do when your teen resists school, how to uncover what’s really behind the struggle and when alternative paths may be a better fit.
