Quote: We joined the Hollywood Group in the Spring of 2003. My son really wanted to do this. He was struggling with middle school and his grades were just high enough to get a permit. We followed the beginning steps and let him work only during his "off" days of school. His grades came up, he gained confidence, and he chose drama as an elective the following year. He's happier at school and his GPA is now a strong 3.5, and we allow him to work more often.
