That's exciting for me. They're kids who want to pursue their education so it's easier to teach them. They learn to speak up and listen to each other, to respect one another and each other's opinions. It's a team effort, unlike some public school classrooms where one student might do all the work and others copy. Our program teaches kids to work things out among themselves.
Kids learn better from each other.
And I get to learn more about teaching and the kids. My background and my knowledge of math both come into play when I volunteer. I provide general guidance, too. The headmaster of St. Andrew asked me if I know of any good students for scholarships, so I keep my eye out for students with that kind of potential. I'm really trying to do what people dId to help me.
