Interview with Denice Gerace, a TM teacher in Tucson, who teaches TM to students at schools in the Tucson Unified School District.
Excerpt:
Q. What about anecdotal results? What feedback have you gotten from students, teachers and parents?
A. The students appreciate the chance to be quiet. One girl, who is among the best students in the district, went from having to spend five hours to write a good paper to one and a half hours. Students with ADHD were able to sit still and pay attention and appreciate the subject and teacher. One student went from getting Ds and Fs in science to Bs and As. Teachers are happy with the program because students don't act out. Some went from unmanageable to well-behaved. Parents find that their child isn't rebelling, does chores, and has a better relationship with them. One parent called a school to make sure the program would continue next school year.
