A grandmother of a student calls me and says her boys were getting to talking about Ivan's potential second grade teacher. He said he hoped he would have a teacher as good as Miss B. The boys got to talking and said,

"There is no teacher in the world as good as Miss B. That is just not humanly possible." 



She said she's gonna get to praying I can loop with them.


BLESSED. TYJ.

How and Why Urban Schools Fail to Engage Parents of Color

"Providing urban parents experiences that motivate, enlighten and bond many of them for life transforms their ability to impact the education of their children. Those of us who do this work persevere because our auditory capabilities are intact. We heard the needs of those whose reality we now champion long before any of them knew we were listening. We will not rest until others take time to hear and heed their call!"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/patricia-a-ackerman/how-and-why-urban-schools_b_885366.html

Detroit is a great place to be. Detroit has alot of musi. There are raping music love music church music. Detroit has alot of seasions. There are four seasions. I can even name them all. There are fall winter spring and summer. I love Detroit if they have all of the storms that happen. But I will alway love, care and like Detroit. I thinck I will always stay in Detroit. Detroit will always be my favoritest place in the world. I know Detroit can change but Detroit doesn't have to change. Detroit can make it's own decisions. I thinck that Detroit is already wunderful and lovelyier than anything. I want to clean up the earth.
