"I am part of the UCLA LOSH Program along with other eight of my girl-friends. We are highly committed to the program and been and been part of it for almost a year now. I have been acquainted with Nancy and Juan. Its nice to know that they are informing teens of their rights, along with other members of LOSH. I find my reasons of why being in LOSH similar to theirs and it makes me feel a sense of proudness within myself. I am thankful with the people of LOSH for giving me the opportunity to be involved in this program."

"Thanks Cynthia [Santiago], on our side of the pacific, we too feel the effects of social oppression of minority races and especially its effects on the youth. You have helped gain a better perspective of this oppression if not in a geographically different context. I hope your endeavours and ambitions will stand testament to a necessary and important struggle."

"The essay 'My World' by Emma Street was astounding. She articulates her background and her reasons for being an advocate for Teaching to Change LA. Personally I liked the essay. If we had a lot of caring teachers like this spokeswoman, then there would be a dramatic change in the test scores of the children in the schools. If the child isn't taught to practice good ethics and good morals and values while he/she is at home, then they won't practice it at school which makes an excellent (A+)student. All parents should participate in this program and become advocates. It could make a change for the good. Thank you for your time."

"As an educator, your web site is extremely informative and in many respects thought provoking. I am also excited at how students' work is central to the information presented on the web site."

"Reading your site makes me excited that there are people there really doing the hard work of tackling these difficult, and overwhelming, and draining issues of educating our urban, poor youth."

"I am very impressed with your web site… I get very excited to learn that there are other organizations within this country that totally appreciate the true concept of democracy, and apply it in the realms of our educational system! Revel on!"
