1. I love the concept of the pop-ups and am so curious to hear the other ideas about homework, discipline, recess, etc. that students and faculty thought up. Also, very impressive and telling that the group of students five years ago foresaw Siri and the reversible camera. Congratulations on a wonderful talk and great ideas, Mr. Buckley! -Kim C., Marymount '08
