Advancement Via Individual Determination aka The Little Engine That Could.
This is also known as AVID - to help students develop the skills they need to be successful in college.
I thought all the years in school prior were to do so. You know. Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, History, Shop class.
Now they have Common Core where 2 + 2 does not equal 4 anymore, dropped history or just saying the USA is bad and there are no shop classes. http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/high-school-notes/2015/02/09/3-answers-for-high-school-parents-about-avid-classes
When something becomes an acronym then you know it is useless.
Company HR person: I see here on your resume that you have a degree in Advancement Via Individual Determination
Just what skill is that? Isn’t that suppose to be high school?
You misspelled resume.......
