It was refreshing to visit the Mainstreet Schoolhouse and have the opportunity to meet such a dedicated educator. While I'm no stranger to amazing teachers who are great at what they do, rarely do I encounter the level of passion and dedication to which we were exposed on Wednesday. Earlier in the week we had the chance to learn about private service providers with an emphasis on young children (Su Casa) and adults (The Healing Center); Mainstreet Schoolhouse fills in the gaps for a variety of ages where education is concerned.
It is interesting that Mainstreet Schoolhouse achieves such a high degree of success through the use of traditional teaching resources and methods. At a time when educators are often expected to employ progressive pedagogy at all times, it is encouraging to see highly motivated students learning in an atmosphere in which the baby is not thrown out with the bathwater - those traditional approaches that work can be retained while still looking forward.
