Caylan Cook’s Tutoring Reflection

Caylan,

It was really nice to see you finally had a positive experience in an urban school. I am actually very jealous that you were able to work with an alternative teacher this week and experience a classroom environment that actually enabled you to put your education to good use and witness how much of a difference an effective teacher can make on the achievement of their students. It is really refreshing to see that with the proper guidance and discipline these students can accomplish a lot. It is so easy to give up hope and lose sight of what we are trying to do with poverished schools not only in our tutoring, but locally and nationally as well. It is so important for people for keep trying and working towards improvement in city schools. People like Mr. Jones can play a major role in aiding our mission and I am so happy that you got to witness that first hand.
