The author reflects on the value of education through the lens of their experiences being home-schooled in China using the comprehensive Calvert Course. The writer then contrasts this early exposure to teaching with the current methods employed by their niece Lorrie, who uses creative techniques to ensure comprehension in her students. Among these is a game to simplify long division, implemented alongside a poem that was turned into a rap. The author appreciates the challenges teachers face, both inside and outside the classroom, and the boundless dedication required to make a difference in a child’s life.
