From parents, we get hugs. We've had a lot of comments that homework time has been cut in half. |
It was by teacher invitation at first, and then we opened it up to the whole student body. |
Not just from an educational standpoint but also the socialization with friends and developing relationships. They're not picking on each other. It's having a lot of benefits. |
This is not just something where low kids are attending. We have gifted and average students participating. It's not labeled a 'dummy group.' There's no labeling and everyone works together. |
We now have peer tutors. They're developing relationships with each other. |
We've never done anything like this before. We thought it might help three or four kids, but then it really took off. The word of mouth really spread. |
