Iverson
It wasn't just me trying to get the teachers. It was a lot, thank you to you guys. And so, you
know, from that, though, the successes I've seen have been elementary especially, and
even in high school, teachers are okay with it now. They are okay with saying, yep, I'm
doing this in my classroom. And the information that I'm getting from them, what they are
doing, it's so much more in-depth. It's so much more foundation. It's so much more that's
dug into versus just surface stuff, if that makes sense.
But I would say the biggest successes I've seen are just teachers finally admitting that it's
okay, we're doing this, and I feel okay about it.
