It is very hard to tie 2 pair of shoes X 24 students a day! That equals 48 shoes a day I would be tying, which would take up a lot of time during large and small group instruction. \u00a0We are encouraging students to become independent learners and with independence takes a lot of dedication and teaching your child at home.
