Main Street Schoolhouse

I was absolutely blown away by Karen and the Main Street Schoolhouse. The vision and dedication that she has is truly inspiring. It is obvious how close this program and everyone participating in it is to her heart.  As a teacher who has struggled to find the “right” resource for her students, I find it incredible that she is personally creating so many materials for her program. I love the fact that students in the program work at their own pace and when she stated that she believes teachers should teach what students need to know, not what they already know, I found that to be such a simple, yet brilliant concept. Karen’s pride in her program and for her students is remarkable. I really hope she is able to find more support and funding so that her program can continue to expand.
