Dave Eggers response

His talk seemed very rushed and unpracticed. He was very nervous and talked really fast with a lot of ums and a's. He used a lot of hand motions and looked around a lot when he paused. His presentation was very choppy and unflowing. However he seemed like he was having fun and the audience seemed to like him. The way that they desinged their centers as joke stores with the tutoring in the back is cool because they might make a little money along the way from traffic that goes to the tutoring center. It is a really good model to use anywhere because the kids can have some fun and learn at the same time. 
The topic that he talked about was a really good idea because he and his friends love writing and want to use that to help kids that get no one on one help becasue of class size. Many of the kids they help do not speak english at home so they struggle in classes that require english. You can see how this would be good even here in Denver there are schools that are not mainly english speaking and they seem like they do not do as well as schools that are more english. Something like this would help kids becasue if you don't speak a language primarily then it would be really hard to do good at it in school. If every city had a place like this then a lot of kids would really bennifit because if they went at a younger age then they will get a solid base for later life in writing and english.
