Dear Elizabeth - I read your article here - http://main.uschess.org/content/view/8660/422/ - and your blog entry about the US Chess School with great interest, since we are hoping to do something equally productive here in the UK. Any lessons we can learn from your experiences would be welcomed, and anything we at the English Chess Federation can offer you guys, including exchanges, let me know!
A photo says a thousand words
and a child's facial expression doesn't lie also..subtle nuances
I don't think I'd let my child spend more than one day there without my presence and support.
Anon-- You confuse me. subtle nuances? You realize the kids in the photos are thinking, right? They aren't grimacing in pain.
It's funny you say that though, Justus had thought the camp was 7 days, and so on day 4 I was talking about the upcoming end of camp, and he got upset and tried to 'talk me into' the camp lasting longer.
Justus actually "loved" the US Chess School. He said this was his favorite one actually.
Why do you assume someone is speaking of Justus, the photo has many students
@ Anon:
Why do you assume she thinks you're talking about Justus? She's just using him as an example.
The question is, when will the instructors stop beating those poor children!
Yes, Stop torturing those children and treat them to Ben and Jerrys's ice cream and crunch bars!!....chuckle
