I just had lunch with the new fifth graders and it was gratifying to hear what they said about their first few weeks at Duke School.
“The teachers teach; they don’t just give a reading assignment and workbook pages to complete.”
“The other kids are really nice. I have three to four good friends already and I have only been here, for like, three days.”
“I love the projects that we do at school, because I can work with my classmates and learn more.”
I should have taped the lunch; Duke School would sell itself.
i love this.
