Student Tutors for Educational Progress For many, it is the best experience of their college careers. The Student Tutors for Educa- tional Progress (STEP) has been on campus for two years now and are continually growing in both number of tutors and the demand for them. The tutors, the majority of whom aren ' t educa- tion majors, visit a child twice a week in one of the Athens area schools. Although they are of- ficially assigned to tutor a child in a specific sub- ject, most often the real value of a STEP tutor is in the attention and friendship he gives the child. But the only person who can really evaluate the worthiness of the STEP tutor is the child him- self. Included in this section, then, are com- ments from children in the STEP program giving their opinions of their tutor, the STEP program and, in some instances, education in general.

STEP is: She ' s nice. She teaches me nice things. John I think it is great. Roger I think she is really good at drawing. My mother says I am drawing better. I can draw a horse now. Thanks to Sally. Holli I think you are being nice by coming out. I hope you can come next year. I would be happy if you do. Larry Sally comes and helps us. I like her. She gives us ideas when we don ' t have anything to draw. She let ' s us work with clay. She takes us outside. She is very helpful. I think all people will like her. Theresa
