TED talk #6 "Once Upon a School"
In Dave Eggers TED talk "Once Upon a School", he tells us about his development of unconventional study centers. Dave isn't a perfect speaker, you can tell that he is nervous in his manners, wringing his hands stuttering; it does not take away from his performance, it enhanced it in a way. He was telling a story, it was personal and awkwardly charming. When he speaks he uses pictures of the Superhero and Pirate Supply Store tutoring centers. As a teacher, in a sense, I teach small children how to swim I truly believe in his belief of one on one tutoring or teaching. Children need one on one attention, giving a private lessons I see children grow substantially. The same goes for teachers, if informal, fun, tutoring centers like the ones developed by Dave, were more readily available more kids would want to get help. Just like in the world if things are more readily avalible, that aren't intimitating people are more likely to be open to them.
