•"FutureLoop is a very good story. It's a really good way of learning."

•“Things are going much better for me in terms of focusing and I have made sure to use my study place only for studying. A goal I set up because of CLEVER QUICK, is to read everything carefully because I often used to misread stuff. Also, with the extra time I now have because of my schedule, I am going to improve my violin skills.”

•“Even though you may feel really bad about yourself when you start, there are lots of good things that can happen when you begin to get organized!”

•“My interests are drawing, swimming, playing baseball. My schedule gives me time to do more of these things!” Online student in Zoom meeting.

Student comments with SPOILER ALERTS!

•“I really enjoyed the novel Life in Fast Forward. My favorite part was when Caleb went looking for Blace while he was teleporting. I liked it because when his plan backfired, I thought it was instant karma.”

•“I really enjoyed FutureLoop: Life in Fast Forward! The part I most liked is when Caleb got tricked by Zuki and sent to the future. I also, liked when Blace was being awkward at Asher’s party and was avoiding the family.”

Parent comments:

•“Lucas and I went through Chapter 1 together and already love the story!” Parent working with middle school student at home.

This program motivated him to make positive changes in his work habits.” Parent of high school student.

•“My son spent the weekend cleaning up his room and setting up his desk area as recommended by the videos.” Parent, during Zoom meeting.
