Quotes
-
"We do encourage our kids to get on it, but we also know that they're teenagers, so we have no problem if they have a pseudonym." - Chris Locke
-
"Oftentimes, you put a student in front of an adult, their head drops, they can't engage. Our kids are making eye contact. They're addressing and they're working with them because they've been comfortable being more like a peer to adults as opposed to this hierarchical relationship where they're just responding and regurgitating what's been told to them." - Chris Locke
-
"The traditional school system is just squelching kids creativity; it's crushing their love of learning." - Chris Locke
-
"We need an environment that teaches kids how to learn so that they aren't restricted on what they want to learn." - Chris Locke
-
"Everybody always says the generation coming up is unmotivated, that's not our experience. Our experience is lots of motivated kids, highly ambitious, that want to do this." - Chris Locke
