"But you know, there's something about the kids finishing their homework in a given day, working one-on-one, getting all this attention - they go home, they're finished. They don't stall, they don't do their homework in front of the TV"

- Dave Eggers

About this Quote

In this quote, author Dave Eggers is highlighting the value of personalized attention and structure in a child's education. He recommends that when kids are offered the chance to work one-on-one with an instructor and finish their research in a timely way, they are able to totally focus and complete their tasks efficiently. This results in a sense of achievement and fulfillment, as they are able to complete their work and go home without any diversions or procrastination. Eggers also implies that without this structure and attention, kids might be more likely to put things off and end up being easily sidetracked, such as by enjoying TV while trying to finish their research. In general, the quote stresses the favorable effect of tailored attention and structure in a child's academic success.
