"What a wonderful learning environment. The kids were so
focused on learning that the presence of our cameras didn't
even bother them."
News anchor reporter, local TV station
"If educational programs were graded, as students are, for
fulfilling objectives and requirements, this program
would definitely rate an A."
Education Services Director of local newspaper in her article on LC
"It was intensive one-on-one academics, the kind that might be
used to prepare for competition in a scholastic bowl. But the
educational encounter didn't take place in an honors program
where bright, college-bound kids are challenged to excel.
These students were sitting across old procelain-top tables in a
public housing project community center where there is
probably a better chance of dropping out of school than
graduating."
Journalist, from article on LC in local newspaper
"You cannot give people dignity and self-respect, but you can
structure an environment in which they can discover and
experience their own self-worth."
(Excerpt from the Paulist Press Book on LEARNING CLUB® Programs , 1984)
