Geoffrey Canada

Also, one last comment about Parents Weekend. I heard Geoffrey Canada, founder of Harlem Children's Zone. He is an advocate of education reform. With his kids in the Zone Project he believes in early and continued assistance--into college--for children in "birth to prison" communities. The only way to break the cycle of poverty is constant and effective intervention. I wish I could communicate how inspiring his lecture was but I cannot.

    I should tell you more about what Jonathan is learning through his internship in New Orleans public schools and TFA field trips. Similar stuff.

    love Geoffrey Canada! glad you got to hear him speak! maybe HE should be the secretary of education - not too happy with Arnie these days.
