What we are about to say/type and give to you this paper we are not sure but think other people feel the same way about what we are about to discuss.
Janessa and I feel like we can't "have our own opinion" like if we say something teachers don't consider it like" the teachers are always right" and we are not saying much because it doesn't go far. If you don’t like are opinions or don’t use them please tell us why and if they wouldn’t work for your situations. I and this is CJ typing I don’t know if Janessa feels the same way about it. counseling that its almost an intrusion so to speak I believe that stuff that happens at home or outside the school is our business and I’m not saying that you cant pray for it. We know that you care for us but you cant do “it” for us. We never learn unless we fall and You have to let us do that. We know that you want to prepare us for the real world. There are a lot of things that we know that is right and wrong scripturally. There are a lot of things that we don’t and we need to study them out and get our own opinion ourselves. For an example we are taught that we share the gospel we plant the seed and let God do the rest. When you guys share something let God do the rest you can’t accept it for us we have to.
This is now addressing what I (CJ) wrote. I’m basically going to re write what I wrote. I am sorry for singling out one or two teachers when I wrote what I did. When I share something I just want prayer and I don’t know if Janessa wants that to. And when I do share something I don’t want like “ we can talk when you want”. I know this is another way to reach out to the kids and you want to help or whatever. You are our teachers not our “buddy buddy” friends. I know you can challenge us once and a while but there has to be a balance. What I mean by that is teaching us facts, and having us apply things to our life. We and I know you teachers don’t like being preached at and telling us to do and what to do and we don’t either.
I also believe that we need to talk more about sex, drugs and drinking because that is more prevalent and those are the pressures being put on us.
In all this we type we want to focus on and ,this is most important, on our relationship with Christ. And also becoming closer and also strengthening our brother and sister in Christ relationships. We hope that we have typed this and said all that we have said in a humble way and not in a cocky or arrogant way
Now the lessons i have learned from this: Communication is ok with teachers!! and that its not good to bottle things up or else yeah. So yeah lessons learned in conflict are awesome!!

I appreciate this clarification of your thoughts, CJ. Thank you. I will try to be sensitive about discerning when you are actually asking for advice/counsel and when you are just "thinking out loud". Am I correct that this is what you are requesting here?
Blessings,
Mrs. A
