What a Student Had to Say:
"My name is Suzy S. from Toronto, Canada from the 8th grade. Recently in our writing class at school, we did the March Break activity that was created by you. The article was put in a way that didn't show any bias, which is great for everyone! I appreciate your style and effort put into the work you do, like wise for all the teachers in the GTA that have to deal with us all, especially during these unpredictable times. Thank you very much for taking the time to educate the children of the hopefully bright future of how bad our governmental systems are! My respects to you. "
