Woodlawn GEAR UP Parent to Parent
See clips of the January 3, 2003 show hosted by Darlette Willis with special guest, Patricia Tatum, Woodlawn GEAR UP's first college graduate as they discuss challenges parents face preparing their children for college as well as returning to school themselves.

Putting together a call-in TV show can be a challenge, but GEAR UP parents make the job look easy. Starting their second season of Parent to Parent, Darlette Willis, host, and Bernie Sutton, CO-producer, get ready for the show. See The Making of Parent to Parent.

 
Darlette Willis asks "How important a role did homework play when you were studying?"  

A caller asks, "[My sister's] daughter is in 2nd grade, and she wants to know, what can she do now to help prepare her for college, even though it's so far off?"  
A caller asks, "I have 3 children of my own, and I want to know, how do you structure your [home] schedule to coincide with your school schedule?"  
Darlette Willis asks, "Pat, what would you say to the parent who only has a GED or no high school diploma?"  
Darlette Willis asks, "How did you have to structure your household because a lot of working parents would like to go back to school ...how did you effectively work that in your household?"
