Teaching style
Please visit my website! schoolhouseforamerica.com
I believe in a student-centered education, where each student learns at their own pace rather than an arbitrary standard. Learning takes place both inside and outside of the classroom, so everything taught should be applicable!
Most of my products center around literature, because I believe we learn most from others. Those who came before us and wrote "the classics" and those around us now, writing their perspective on current events. If you can read, you can write, and if you can write, you can think!
