Full of renewed purpose, bells rang with authority, delineating time and scattering students like flocks in flight. Ringing, however, is only the prelude to the din facing teachers this Fall, paling in comparison to the shuffling of seventy feet or the drumming of three-hundred and fifty fingers. Do the math and you will find that average class sizes, to the dismay of the likes of Rouse and Wenglinsky, are growing, in some cases with the number of students reaching beyond the thirties and into the forties. From all that we borrow in education from the Greeks, from the etymology of pedagogy to the design of the columns that support our very schools, never did it seem plausibly that we would also have to borrow strategies from Thermopylae. Alas, here we are, battling, not to subdue an enemy through means of balanced odds, but educate a child. A child, as in the singular. As in his or her needs are different from the thirty or so that surround and blur the image of the one. Begging the question: How do we put the “I” back in education? Mary Jane Freeman spent twenty-five years in public education, first as a teacher and then a guidance counselor before striking out on her own to seek an answer to this question. In the early 1990’s, Ms. Freeman joined the Independent Educational Consultants Association and began working privately with families, making recommendations regarding boarding school and college placements for students based on their “I”ndividual circumstances. Recognizing a greater opportunity to help, Ms. Freeman and her husband, John, founded NewPoint Learning Center in 1999, a supplemental education school aimed at creating customized learning solutions for students. Unlike most supplemental education centers that focus on a fixed, remediation curriculum, NewPoint’s roots lay in more complex educational services. In addition to providing Educational Consulting, Ms. Freeman partners with Gary Patrick, PH.D., recent coauthor of ‘Tackling Academic Barriers’, to conduct comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations. Together, Ms. Freeman and Dr. Patrick have seek to provide not only answers to families regarding their individual students, but solutions. A decade now in the making, NewPoint Learning Center offers customized one-to-one tutoring, study skills, and test preparation options combined with a referral network of child psychologists, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, version therapists, audiologists, and more, all with the purpose of reversing the ratio. Creating a village to raise each child. NewPoint Learning Center is growing and has a variety of career opportunities available. If you have ever dreamed of owning your own learning center or starting your own school visit, but have struggled with the how, visit [link removed]”.
