Lo-Ellen Park student sent Sudbury.com a message about her teacher, Daniel Monti; and when a teenager wants to praise a teacher? Well, we write about it

It’s not often you get an email from a student, and in particular, a high school student, regarding how great their teacher is for them, and their school.

She said that in 2018, Monti took initiative to renovate a decommissioned drama room at Lo-Ellen Park into an EDIT Lab and developed a new EDIT curriculum. “Engineering was my background, so I always kind of had a keen interest in robotics,” he said. “But funnily enough, it was actually two students who approached me and said, ‘Hey, would you be interested in starting a team?’”

With some students working towards a future in trades-based fields, others on computer programming and others on design, there is a combination of keyboard clicks and hammers hammering in the classroom. And while he said there are different moments every year that make the time commitment worth it — almost a full-time job on top of his full-time job — he told Sudbury.com that it comes down to seeing student growth.
