Q:Why are your drawings and other graphics so crummy? A:At the most basic level, the answer is that we are not trying to impress you; if that were our goal, we would call our plan the “Beverly Hills Plan.”Instead, we are trying to reach your child, and it turns out that the crummy graphics are an important tool for achieving this goal.Certainly, it would be easy enough to make the Sample Homeworks highly polished and professional (and in fact we have done that on occasion), but this actually tends to separate the child from the process.Part of the charm and power of the homework sessions is that they are special times between a parent and a child, not just the presentation of one more mass-produced book or toy, but an organic process that is at its very core a deep collaboration between parent and child.Our graphics – in fact all aspects of our presentation – are intended to be within the reach of your child, allowing her to feel that she is an active participant with you in the homework sessions.
