Every elementary school student I taught chess is special to me. While teaching at Public School 78 I hit a special milestone. I reached 500 elementary students in a school setting.
I attended their graduation and they broke my heart by surprising me with a cardboard poster with cards. They communicated how grateful they were for the work I did with them. I helped them control their behavior and increase their focus.
Some students even said they wanted to be a chess instructor!
Mr.Romeo and his to assistant are very good instructors my younger son is very eager to learn chess but if have a little difficulty because he have a little processing delay, they are very patient and understanding and continue to work with him each week to continue build his confidence and self-esteem.
This is a great program for the kids, we came across it on one of our weekend trips to library and the kids love it.
Great Job to staffs for providing such great opportunity for the community.
