Last night after my nightly broadcast, I went into the kitchen to prepare something to eat and my wife had a movie running on TV that drew me in – and THAT is rare.
I stayed glued to that television for the entire film. From the very beginning – something spoke to me – and if you watch it – it will draw you in as well. As one viewer on You Tube stated, “What a beautiful inspiring movie. I wish all teachers were more like him in this world. I pray many educators are inspired to do/be better after watching this movie.” ~ Editor

“Ron Clark was indeed ‘the white tornado ‘ of inspiration that Harlem Elementary kids needed. He saw their potential & would never give up on them, where others had.”
…and from Adrian: “One of the most difficult and least paid jobs. And all to benefit children an opportunity to develop their skills for the rest of their lives. If only the children and parents respected and understand that the future lies in the hands of themselves.”
…and finally from Laura: What a great movie. All children and parents should be inspired by this true story. It goes to show that when a teacher truly cares about his students not only will the children notice he will earn their respect. No matter what street, what city or nationality you are that if you work hard you can do anything. It doesn’t matter where you came from or how much money the parents have. These parents of these students most likely work more than one job and in doing this just to put food on the table is all the love a child needs. Children want to have a voice but sometimes you have to break through that tough exterior to see who that person is on the inside. A good solid teacher that loves what he or she does can turn a failing child into a passing one.
What follows is the transcript of the 1920 newspaper clipping. The actual clip is at the end. 
An article on The Gateway Pundit for May 28th provided some information worth noting on what goes on in public schools and who is doing some of it. If you’ve had problems with Target over their “gay” pride merchandise you may find that is only the tip of the iceberg. The Gateway Pundit article tells us: “Retail giant Target has partnered with GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network) for years… GLSEN is a group that provides sexually explicit books to schools, pushes gender identity throughout public school curricula, and advocates policies that keep parents unaware of their child’s in-school gender transition… It was Barack Obama who first pushed sex education to kindergartners back in 2007 – he even pushed sex education to kiddies legislation… the media mostly hid this from the American public.” Sounds like King Barack the first really did have a plan to “fundamentally transform the United States” but he didn’t want the public to grasp just what it was!

We don’t encourage students to ask the same kinds of questions they did when they were younger. Here’s something I wrote recently about the topic for 
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
The National Commission on Excellence in Education’s release of a report titled “A Nation at Risk” in 1983 was a pivotal point in the history of American education. The report used dire language, lamenting that “the educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a Nation and a people.”

The Republican-led House voted to pass its Parents’ Bill of Rights on Friday with zero Democrat votes after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called it ‘fascist.’ The controversial bill, which gives parents a stronger role in what’s taught in public schools, is not expected to be taken up by the Democratic-majority Senate.
Last week, students at small Christian college in Kentucky gathered for their regular Wednesday chapel service. Ten days later, it has not ended. People from around the country and the world continue to join in. No matter your religion or lack thereof, THIS is an exceptional happening. More exceptional even, is that this spirit has spread to other colleges and universities. 
There is no substitute for consistent interaction between a little one and his or her mom and dad. The two greatest gifts parents can give their kids are the knowledge of Jesus Christ and their time.
Everywhere in education, you see incentives at work. The incentives, though, are so far removed from the actual goals of education that they produce perverse results.
In the wake of COVID-19, people now overwhelmingly believe that the education system’s broader purpose needs to be rethought. This begins with a shift away from standardized testing, college prep and a one-size-fits-all model and toward personalized curricula, practical skills and subject mastery.
Learning doesn’t have to stop when the school bell rings. Some of the best learning takes place outside of the classroom. So, if your child is struggling with a particular subject, or if you want to expand their knowledge beyond what they’re learning in class, you can do so without spending a lot of money or signing up for extracurricular activities.
