Hello everyone,

 

This is what we do here to occupy our teens:
http://il.webjunction.org/do/DisplayContent?id=17353

 

We've only had a few minor incidents, but overall, it's been quite
successful.  I'm able to walk out of the room for a few minutes without
worrying that something's going to walk or get destroyed.  I'm a hands-off
type of supervisor and also try to treat them with respect.  I also don't
hold it against them if they've done something wrong in the past.everyone
makes mistakes :-)  The Tech Annex was designed to allow the teens to be
noisier and collaborate on group projects.

 

BTW, audio production is a HUGE hit.

 

Thanks,

 

Darren
