The Takeaway Thought:
"We are all humans and deserve to be respected as such. Children more so than anyone, many do not have the same advantages. We need to remember that they still need to be nurtured, every one of them."
Mr. G

"Anxiety is a big issue in learning. I talked with kids about math anxiety and they just get anxious and I've seen it in adults - they get anxious with math. It just gets in the way. What I have learned is to just go away, rethink it, calm down and soon you're good. But there is, along with that, your insecurities and then anxiety springs."
