Geoffrey Canada is a teacher who came up against the most - difficult - to -
educate group of
kids a teacher can face:
kids who grew up
in poverty, with broken homes, surrounded by drugs and guns and alcohol.
«But I think all of us
in public education: moms, dads, teachers, principals, and board members need to be focused on the number one priority which is
educating kids and how we do that better, how do we improve outcomes, raise children out of
poverty, get them to graduation, college, and career.
