You take off your shoes when you enter a home or a carpeted room, and this goes for classrooms as well; I teach children in my stocking feet. Today, after one of my kids’ classes, Lloyd (one of the academy’s Native staff members) said to me, “It was interesting watching you teach. I even noticed that you did the entire lesson standing on your tip toes …”
“Oh, yes….” I said. “I do that.”
