I Can't Hear... Yet

Funded Dec 14, 2020

Thank you so much for supporting my project. While teaching from home, in a large apartment complex, there were many challenges to hearing my students clearly. Between street traffic to the gardeners my forth period became all too familiar with, giving my students my undivided attention was not always easy. Your donation of the cordless headphones helped me better be able to hear my students.

Now, we have returned to school and are in a new, and different situation that is perhaps even more challenging. We are sharing rooms with students that are learning in person while other students are still at home. Some students within the physical classroom are in your class while others are taking other classes online. As a result, there is a lot of crosstalk and noise, as students respond to teachers in other rooms.

In this context, being able to minimize the impact of all these noises is invaluable. Moreover, as I am presently giving speaking assessments to English learners online for the first time, the clarity that comes from high quality headphones is extremely helpful. Again, thank you for your support during this difficult time.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Reboh
