 Everything that Al does involves his students in the community. He's all about global citizenship, about people being involved, looking at the bigger picture. I think that they get to see things first hand. He doesn't just have them read things from a textbook. What it means is that I have students who are excited about school and about learning and what more can you want? He's not just a teacher, he's also someone you can come to. I really trust Mr. G. He's one of my favorite teachers. He's looking to bring the community into the school as well as take the school out to the community. Getting out of the classroom and into the community is important because as soon as the kids perceive the lesson as real, it changes everything. You know, their passion, their engagement that gets you up in the morning, it's probably the same thing that keeps you up at night. Without the students and that piece that they give you, that push, yeah, the job would not be what it is.
