True Collaboration

A shot in our library during a break. These students are "sharing ideas" (according to one of them). Partly academic and partly social, students help each other again and again. I often see students working together on difficult math problems (for their cram schools) or helping each other understand difficult passages in works such as Plato. Of course, the new trend is watching games together ... not playing them, but watching the strategies of others.

The library is the heart of our school. People come to work and socialize, to research and to read quietly. I am so lucky to have my office in a corner of the library and to be able to wander among books and students with ease.
