concern parent bmillerknotts ((at)) yahoo dot com
Hello, I am a parent of a student who attends Brookstone. First of all I am unhappy with the college and faculty there. I have heard and see for myself that Brookstone is out to take young people money and when they feel betrayed as a lot of students do they try to hold them back from transferring or making other choices that will help them in the long run. Faculty there were given chances and was not held back from moving on and making something of themselves. And we as adutls forget this from thime to time. Some young adults are blessed to attend school on loans, grants and VA benefits and some have no money at all, but wnat to make a difference in their life. To my understand classes taken at Brookstone are not transferable and this makes it hard on students who want to move on to higher ground and make a difference. As a concern parent I speak for all the student who want to move on or even transfer to make a diffences in their life, please for God sakes don't hold them back, but work with them, dont discourage them, but influence them and pray for them and show them you love and support them no matter what they decide to do as far as better themselves. Remember we all were young adults and we needed the same kind of support. thank you, Concern Parent
