Why you should give kids a second chance
Posted by David Wees on Jun 17, 2010
Yesterday we had a community service day. It worked wonderfully, and everyone who came participated really well. The first thing that I noticed was how different the students looked when they were working in this different context. The people who were normally stars of the classroom were not necessarily stars for the community service, and visa versa. Some of the best and hardest workers were students who often do not work in the classroom well by themselves without lots of reinforcement.
