Who benefited more from the 2+2=5 program, the Bentley students or the children?

            I think it is unreasonable to even attempt to compare on a more or less, better or worse basis which group benefited more from 2+2=5. I say this because what each group (Bentley students and children) potentially took out of the program varies greatly, thus it would be hard to compare two very different benefits.

            The question I would like to answer which is rephrased and maybe is the same as above in different words is as follows; If you were to have experienced both sides (Bentley students and children) of 2+2=5 at the same time, which side would have left a greater impression on you as an individual?

            According to the “revised” question I feel that I can answer the question to a greater extent. The Children’s side would have left a more lasting impression on me than the Bentley student side. I say this not only because I would be young and impressionable, but also because of the way I would look up to the Bentley students and remember the experience for years to come. For example I can remember many memories of situations where I was young and impressionable and was positively influenced by other older students. One memory which will probably stick with me for the rest of my life was a senior on the basketball team. I was in fifth grade and he explained the basics of a foul shot to me. Head over shoulders over knees over toes and create a rhythm and do it before every foul shot. This was something that stuck with me; I say it in my head before every foul shot I take, part of my rhythm. This information has almost become a part of me, but I can guarantee that the senior who told me would most likely not even remember my name let alone what he had told me.

            I think that the senior represents me as a Bentley student as well as many other students. This is not to say that I have not learned anything from the 2+2=5 experience because I have, but I don’t think I took it to heart nearly as much as I would have if I had been in that 5^th grade class I helped teach. I am sure, if I was in that fifth grade class, there are moments which would stick with me and things I learned in those 10 weeks that would be instilled in me for many years to come and possibly even become part of my daily rhythm of life.

            I hate to say it because I really enjoy 2+2=5, but I do not believe that in 10 years I will be looking back continuously at my first session of 2+2=5 with memories that are instilled in me and that may that have helped me benefit in that same way as the students of the fifth grade class will look back on their 2+2=5 experience.
