The unprecedence in class today was incredibly refreshing. As we went over the alloted teaching time, students were--for the first time-- showing passion and were driven to defend their thought process. This is probably the most positive growth from my students that I've experienced teaching here thus far. So proud that these kiddies are finally realizing that questioning authority--in a respectful manner of course--is completely okay and having their own voice should not be feared, but rather encouraged and embraced. There is hope yet!
