Creativity and autonomy become motivators in no time.

Engagement vs Standards

Orschy Thoughts, UncategorizedBy jackieAdmin April 8, 2020 Leave a comment

Isolation is taking its toll on kids, parents, and teachers. Offering a standardized approach to their current education will not produce desired results. Engagement wins. Engagement should be paramount. This is not the time to stick to boring. This is not the time to adhere to unbending standards. Kudos to all parents and all teachers…

Ian is loving school! Thank you for giving us an alternative for him to thrive in!

Hi Jackie,

I cannot tell you enough. Josh is a different kid, now.

I am SO amazed with how he loves school. He said he loves learning. He is no longer stressed about school.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know, AGAIN, how happy we are with Orsch.

Thanks for all the amazing creative and culturally rich learning and growing exercises that you make available. I am grateful for you and for Orsch! Thanks.

Pat!

You go, girl! It looks good! I like it! Erin talked a lot yesterday about self-expression and Orsch seems to be strong on that aspect. I love your freedoms and experiences. Somehow though you’ve motivated kids so that they choose to do academics! you’ve found a way to have kids work hard because they know they will get some fun times as well. You have helped kids strive towards their potential. Don Juan (in Casteneda books) always talked of being “impeccable,” doing your best at all times. I think that is what Orsch has helped kids figure out. My best some days is to spend hours on a topic, and other days my best is to have some down time to relax the brain.
Good to see you yesterday! You’re so cute – even on your bike. I love this town.

[They] told him that his reading was exceptionally high and would he like to be in advanced English! I believe his love of reading and writing became so much stronger thru you and your teaching ! thank you
