Final Parents Survey, Spring 2009 Session

Comments from Parents

−    My son is more active. You won’t believe the excited way he returns from school and immediately goes to wait for the TYO bus.

−    My daughter is more brave and asking more questions. She is using new vocabulary and strong self-expression.

−    My son’s schoolwork has improved.

−    My son is a more active listener.

−    My son has better personal hygiene

−    My son has displayed new and positive ways of playing with his siblings.

−    Our children have formed new friendships between Balata and Askar refugee camps.

−    My daughter used to resist orders and rules.  After the tolerance unit at TYO, there was a conflict between her and her sister and she taught her sister about tolerance and they shook hands. I was so happy.

−    At TYO, I found a safe place for my daughter, which is great. TYO has taught my daughter to communicate with her fear and organize herself.
