Also that fact that govt staff does not like to employ outsiders to help improve their kids - so there is subtle competition with them - i feel. Further, my seniors have been quite effusive in my getting the highly energetic engaged and learning. It is true that low achieving kids will show largest percentage gains compared to those who are already doing well. Perfection is difficult but bringing up laggards is easy if you get them interested. Umesh PS: This job pays only my rent and student loan about $750 per month- and am looking for something to pay for food, phone and for a stable job after June 2006 when my student visa expires.
