Once Apon a School

I think this is a great thing for the students of the neighbouring schools and it helped many students out and they were not afraid to go because they may be looked down upon. It was great that they had such an overwhelming response, it was a great idea that has spread across the country helping so many children. It was an interesting idea to combine the authors and editors together with the students in the same area. Now the different shops that accompany each tutoring center are quite unique and odd. Even though this is a great concept i do not think it would work in Ingersoll. This is too small of a town to have a business like this work and connect with the students in the schools. Their is to much of a stigma attached to things like these withing our schools. People would be to scared to go to something like this in fear people may look at them different or think their a 'nerd'. People are scared to ruin their 'rep' so they wouldn't go to something like this that is school related. We are a small town school and not many people's focus on school. Its sad to say i know but many people come to school and leave and they don't want to do anything school related other than at school so i don't think they would go to a tutor place after school. Also many of the people who went to these tutor sessions, english was not their first language and so something like this helped them alot. But he in Ingersoll almost everyone who lives here, english is their first language. Its a great concept but wouldn't fly in a small town like here in Ingersoll.
