Parenting Quote by Lisa Ko
““The other instructors, even his mother, laughed at him for making work harder for himself and not teaching the workbook. But his students were awake, engaged, and he was willing to be held up for their amusement and curiosity. When he said that they could ask him anything they wanted, so long as they asked in English, they shouted out questions.””
