This morning I worked with a math student at St. Margaret’s School for the first time. The atmosphere there was much warmer and friendlier than the heavy institutional feel that far too many schools have. Being able to work in a designated tutoring room was a bonus. My student told me that even their library would have been suitable. That would have been a sharp contrast to my past experience with high school libraries which, from what I have seen, are used more for socializing than for studying.
