I think
we're all aware that these students

00:03.125 --> 00:08.416
are committed to lots of things,
whether it's sports

00:08.416 --> 00:12.000
or whether it's the arts, dance,
we have ballet dancers,

00:12.166 --> 00:16.291
we have other artists, we have musicians,
that do that work outside of school.

00:16.500 --> 00:21.750
And I think that if we're communicating
well with those students, the academic

00:21.750 --> 00:26.208
deadlines, for me, are somewhat fluid
because we take care of them.

00:26.208 --> 00:29.875
We want to make sure that they feel like
they can have success in our classes,

00:30.041 --> 00:34.250
but also do really successful work
in all the things that they pursue

00:34.250 --> 00:35.500
outside of the school.

00:35.500 --> 00:38.500
And I think supporting them in
that is a great thing, because these are

00:38.875 --> 00:40.625
students that are well-rounded.

00:40.625 --> 00:42.875
They're gifted in so many different ways.

00:42.875 --> 00:45.875
And I think we need to support
all those things and sort of respect it.

00:46.083 --> 00:49.083
So there are times when a student, maybe

00:49.166 --> 00:52.958
they want to pursue that music
as much as they

00:52.958 --> 00:56.458
want to be successful in English, and
I want to support both aspects of that.

00:56.458 --> 01:01.208
I think that success in either of those
is going to breed success in all.
