We try to keep the same tutors with the same kids all the time and on a one-on-one basis, because you know there's, there's so much that needs to be done and so much understanding that needs to be transferred because they've missed so much.
Stephen Garland, the Executive Director of The Hardy Center, joins Alexa Diley in this thought-provoking episode of 'Deprivation and Isolation'. Garland shares his experiences working with inner-city children in Columbus, highlighting the persistent substance abuse issues and educational disparities that have been exacerbated by the pandemic. He discusses how the shift to at-home learning has widened the education gap and the critical need for one-on-one tutoring to help kids catch up.
Garland underscores the vital role of community involvement, emphasizing the impact of volunteers who dedicate their time to tutoring and supporting these children. His insights reveal the power of words and the necessity of equipping kids with the right tools to succeed. This conversation is both inspiring and informative, shedding light on the challenges faced by inner-city communities while offering a glimmer of hope for a brighter future.
