Raising Bertie Conversation Starters:

The head of the traditional public school says, “The role of teachers in an environment like this is to be dream makers. They help you to go down paths that maybe even your parents can’t help you to go down.” Have you had any teachers who were “dream makers” for you? What did they do that made a difference?
