Video transcript
She's only been here for a little over a month, that being said I do think we're seeing changes already. This morning she was like oh I'm gonna do some reading mom and you know we've been teaching her how to read but her enthusiasm I think for working on math and language and reading is on a different level right now. Before it felt more like we were pulling teeth. And we've seen a real explosion in her reading ability just in the last month. It went from like you know sometimes like just crying on the floor that she didn't want to do it and then all of a sudden she was like yes I'm going to do this and we're gonna do it together and then she it was magic. My daughter is learning at her speed which is learning faster than she would be learning at a traditional school. If the promise of this school comes to its full fruition then in a generation there's going to be all of these children who experienced a one-on-one learning a dynamic and they're going to go farther and do more than we've seen.
