When they're wrong, I ask students why they're wrong. This makes them independent thinkers and boosts their confidence. Preparing...

...because I want to make a positive impact into the lives of our young learners. Today's young males, specifically, lack positive role models that speak and demonstrate how a man conducts himself in a vibrant and moral society.
