[nabs-l] Mentoring a younger student; when enough is enough

[Joseph Hudson]

Hello Lilly, if I gather, you're trying to ask about how to go about telling her VI teacher know you don't want to do this? That's what I'm kind of gathering out of the whole question Micahs if that is what you're asking, I would just say hey high school, has a lot on my plate and I don't really want to do A bunch of tutoring, and I think she knows that you're not a teacher but if you've already been through you one grade of high school or two great for that matter, I think that he will be a little provide some help but not a whole heckuva lot, what I would do in a situation like that is I would occasionally just check on the person just to see if they need anything at that something easy go ahead and take the responsibility to help them. I hope I ventured your question, and if anybody can be anymore assistance please feel free to contact me off list if you want.

I have helped this student by serving as a guide in going to middle school programs. My vi asked if I would do a tour of the high school and answer questions. This is fine with me.
> My fear is that I will be asked to help with some sort of tutoring. I do not feel I can do this. This student has multiple disabilities, I am not a teacher, and I will have a rigorous class schedule plus dealing with responsibilities with junior year. I have mentioned this to my parents and parra, who i feel are supporting me. However, I am afraid my vi will not understand my reasons or misconstrue them for me being rude, which I do not want to do. I do not want to say this to early and be presumptuous, but I do not want to be misleading. Thank you for any advice.
