Notable Quotes (2)
I want us to really caution making any conclusions from this. So while this is spectacular data, I don't think we want to really celebrate this until we have a bigger picture of our entire student population.
I'm just so amazed at, you know, what strategies students are using to learn these days and um especially the vocabulary.
