  8. What Parents are saying about Pride Time… • “I am a big fan. Zoe has been able to get a big jump on her homework and the best part is she can do it while still at school where the resources are if she has questions. Additionally, I am very pleased with how well your teachers are managing the time, holding the students accountable to studying and not letting it turn into free time. This one small change you and your team made has had a huge positive impact on us . Thanks!” Sharon Chastain • “My son told me that he passed science last year because he was able to see his science teacher during Pride Time.” Debbie Jones • “My daughter has always struggled in math. For the first time she is understanding math and when she doesn’t, she knows she can go in and see her math teacher during Pride Time.” Anonymous
