It was fascinating to observe the different attitudes between the students in your classes and the students in mine. Your students were competent and able to work independently. I was also surprised to see everyone at roughly the same stage in their project.
ALL of your students held a positive attitude about their work. This contrasts greatly with the poor confidence of my students who are dependent on teacher assistance and are almost always negative about their work. I wonder if it is the Arts focus of the school that provides your children with the confidence to succeed or whether it is a demographic factor. If a whole school integrated arts program were used in a low socio-economic school I wonder if it could increase their confidence and independance? Kirsten
