"Status in itself is criminal for those with the means to move, and the means to weave communion between people."

People

Quote_1.png
Dave Eggers

People

Dave Eggers
"You know, it's been proven that 35 to 40 hours a year with one-on-one attention, a student can get one grade level higher."

Attention

Quote_1.png
Dave Eggers
"But there was something psychological happening there that was just a little bit different. And the other thing was, there was no stigma. Kids weren't going into the 'Center-for-Kids-That-Need-More-Help' or something like that. It was 826 Valencia."

Kids

Quote_1.png
Dave Eggers
"And what we were trying to offer every day was one-on-one attention. The goal was to have a one-to-one ratio with every one of these students."

Goal

Quote_1.png
Dave Eggers
"You can do and use the skills that you have. The schools need you. The teachers need you. Students and parents need you. They need your actual person: your physical personhood and your open minds and open ears and boundless compassion, sitting next to them, listening and nodding and asking questions for hours at a time."

Time

Quote_1.png
Dave Eggers
"But you know, there's something about the kids finishing their homework in a given day, working one-on-one, getting all this attention - they go home, they're finished. They don't stall, they don't do their homework in front of the TV."

Home

Dave Eggers
"People worried about our passing over into some robotic state, but we were so much like robots already, programmed and easy to manipulate."

"Thank you,' he says.'Thank who?''I don't know."
