  1. The teacher's union tries to stop anything that looks like progress so I had to build an alliance with hard-core parents and advocates of ed
  2. I couldn't make him nor the teacher's union look bad with Capital Prep's success - The teacher's union was against transforming education.
  3. So I had to make him comfortable with the fact that I wouldn't be better than him at educating the kids his district couldn't educate.
  4. I had a superintendent who was more concerned with my relationships than with the positive impact I could have on the children of CT's lives
  5. I was asked by @EDUCATIONCEO about how I got the school district to allow me to open #Capital Prep - let me tell you, it was hard as hell!
  6. I'm trying to change the game in Bermuda http://www.bermudasun.bm/main.asp?SectionID=24&SubSectionID=270&ArticleID=43696
  7. There's ALWAYS a way for students to find scholarships. We need to do research and be proactive to create opportunities! @CrenshawsOwn
  8. When a child feels comfortable with his drawls out and a du-rag on his head out in public, we as a community look like fools, court jesters
  9. Here are my thoughts about the new Morehouse dress code: http://newsroom.blogs.cnn.com/2009/10/17/morehouse-dress-code-debate/
  10. I got asked by @alldaymicg about my thoughts on the Morehouse dress code - CNN asked me the same question :)
  11. FAMU (public HBCU) is an amazing school and I love Morehouse (private HBCU); both are great.
  12. All I care about is quality; that has nothing to do with whether the HBCU is public or private. There are good&bad in each lane.
  13. I'm so pro-choice, you wouldn't believe it. Kids and their families should be able to choose from good schools that meet their needs.
  14. I love good HBCU's and women's colleges. Yet, I have a great deal of respect for integration. I am pro-choice about education.
  15. I was asked by my man @Kongress13 about my thoughts on HBCU's...
  16. The lack of male role models in my life growing up is a constant motivation for me to work to become a great one.
  17. So growing up I just avoided the biggest mistakes of those closest to me and I've have done alright.
  18. We spend so much time looking 4 our own personal Jesus or Barack, (whichever you believe in), but the world is few of good people 2 follow.
  19. I learned a lot from what they did. They drank like fish, I don't drink @ all. They left their kids, I would rather be dead than w/o mine.
  20. I didn't respect most of the men I grew up around. Fearful of them, bc the could beat my childhood ass, but naw, no respect.
