Going to office hours and asking teachers for help was how I made it through college with a reasonable GPA. Thankfully it was my high school that taught me that behavior with a tutorial 5th period after normal school hours and an activity bus to get home if you stayed (we had block scheduling with only 4 blocks a day). The days I wasn't already staying after for an activity, I often attended tutorial, if nothing more than to have a little more social time before going home.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944415896488818574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24806308.post-79935008691407405032013-04-22T11:07:59.608-07:002013-04-22T11:07:59.608-07:00What an amazing school that must be.

I think about the pressure in public education to produce kids who can pass tests and the damage that's creating all the way around. Thanks for this reminder of what's really important.
