thE StorY Stay in SchoolDiego is a teenager from Mexico who loves to play soccer. His mother

sends him to live with his aunt and uncle in New York City to get a good

education. But life in New York is not like Mexico. School is hard and

confusing. Diego decides to quit school and get a job. When his aunt and

uncle find out, they are shocked. But when Diego tells them his fears,

they listen patiently. They decide to help him find information and advice

so he can stay in school. Together, they try to sort things out. Will it be

enough? Will Diego stay in school?

My nephew, Diego, is here!

Carmen & Juan’s Apartment

One Month Later At School

Welcome to New York. This is your home now,

Diego.

School in New York is not like school back at home, in Mexico.

I can’t understand the teachers. With my English,

I’ll be in school forever.

Yeah, I know how you feel. It’s hard for me, too.

I want to quit school and get a job.

Diego At Work

Back At Home

You need money? Learn English. Get your diploma. Then you’ll

make real money.

Diego’s teacher called today. She says Diego is failing, and he hasn’t been in class all week!

A week?! When Diego comes home, let’s talk with

him. Let’s listen to him.

It’s hard to be in a new country. It’s hard to learn

English. School is hard.

We understand, Diego. It was the

same for us.

But school is important. You can get a good job.

You’ll have more choices in life.

I don’t know. I need to think about it.

Uncle Juan, Aunt Carmen... I’ve decided that I want to stay in school. But, I don’t know if

I can do it.

Hello, 311? I need some information about high

schools, please.

Okay, Diego! You can do it. Don’t worry, we will do this together.

Hello, Fatima? What high school does your daughter

go to?

Hello, is this the Parent Coordinator?

At School With The Guidance Counselor

The Next Week

What does Diego need to do to graduate?

Well, there are classes he needs to take. And he has the right to get extra help. It is free for everyone - with “papers”, or without “papers.”

What if I can’t do it? Maybe school isn’t for me?

Yes, it is. In New York City, you have a lot of choices - different schools, special programs, and extra help.

Diego, you’re back! I’m so happy to see you!

Yeah, school isn’t easy, but I can do it.

I know my family is proud of me, but school is hard.

I’m trying to learn a lot of new things in a new

language. Sometimes I don’t think that I can do

it, and I want to quit. It helps to meet other young

people like me. It’s important to have people who

listen to me. I feel good being back in school.

diEgo

I understand how Diego feels. It is hard to come to a new country and learn everything again. But, in life, you never stop learning. In Mexico, I worked in construction. I found the same job here in New York. I learn from the guys at work, and I teach them some things, too. I know that education will give Diego more choices in life. I want him to have big dreams.

JUAnHigh school can be hard. I have been the Guidance Counselor at Diego’s school for 5 years. I like my job. I help students and their parents. I can help students make good decisions about their future. I also help parents learn more about the school system here in New York.

WHO WE ARE


I am Diego’s coworker. I work two jobs to earn enough money for my family. On the weekends I take GED classes. I know that money is important, but an education can take you far.

My family is Chinese, but I was born in the Dominican Republic. I learned Spanish there, and now I am learning English in New York. I go to the same school as Diego. Sometimes people are confused when I tell them I am Latina! I am glad that Diego has come back to school. I like talking to him. We have a lot in common.

I am proud to be Diego’s aunt. I know that he is

smart and can make good decisions for himself.

But, sometimes teenagers need adults to listen to

them, without giving advice. When Diego has to

make a decision, I listen to him and encourage him.

I tell him what I think is best, but I trust him to make

his own decisions. I know I’m helping him, and that

makes me feel good.

HOW WE DID IT

here’s how we dealt with high school issues. Maybe these ideas will help you, too.

3 Carmen and I asked a lot of questions to find out how to help Diego. We called our friends, the school, and 311.

4 We supported Diego – he wasn’t left alone. Carmen and I listened to him. Even though they are older, teenagers need adults to stay close to them and help them. Even if they act like they don’t want you there!

1 We talked to Diego about choices. We didn’t force him to do one thing or another. He got to think about it and decide for himself.

2 The guidance counselor told us about many different kinds of high schools. In New York City, you can choose a high school to go to. That’s great!


HOW WE DID IT

Parents have to be involved in the school, even parents of high school students. Schools are open to parents, and we need to go. The teachers and everyone at the school want to hear from us!

You don’t have to wait for someone to call you to the school. You have the right to make an appointment and see someone. Every school has a Parent Coordinator who is there just for parents! It’s good to make friends with other parents and the Parent Coordinator. You can call them for help and support.

New York City schools have a lot of choices for students. You can choose which school to go to. There are bilingual and international programs. There are schools for new immigrants. There are schools that help students learn about work. And, there are even schools for students who are over 18. Students have the right to find the best school for them. And everyone under 21 has the right to a free high school education in New York City.
