- i've written about aishah before and this year she has really struggled in our program (for a lot of good reasons). over the year we've come to a good place as far as being able to exist together civilly for three hours every day. she wrote me a thank you note yesterday (on thank you stationary). here's what she said:
"Thank you Steve for teaching me and being there for me. Even though you are annoying I still appreciate you. Love, Aishah"
wow! that's huge
- we've also been doing a lot of surveys and it's been cool to get feedback from teachers and see how students have improved over the year. it was also fun to do student surveys and see what they've thought about their year. there was one free response question where they could write or draw about "what they learned this year." a lot of them said stuff about hip hop dance, or art, or playing outside, fun stuff like that. my favorite, though, was isiah who simply wrote: "i learned to be good." another wow! i asked him about and i think he really means it...cool!
