James Coleman, a Hendrickson High school AVID tutor, was just recently dismissed from his position of being an AVID tutor for high school level. James was not only a class favorite, but was apart of our AVID family. Whenever our first AVID coordinator was also dismissed, he was was there to fill the spot to allow our education to continue when no one else wanted to teach us. Now that we have a new teacher and coordinator, he has been dismissed. Not one teacher asked any of the students, including the AVID president, our thoughts. James got his job done and carried out given tasks. Although they dismissed him from the high school level, James still asked to come in the following day to tell all of his students goodbye and give us closure. Instead the AVID teachers didn't even allow him to do that. So if they're not going to give us a voice, we'll make our own. It's way more of us students than of those teachers.
