If you’re willing to be bold — e.g., close persistenly failing schools and replace them with very different alternatives— you can get better results for kids. Sure, it’s politically fraught to close a school, but change doesn’t come from hoping and wishing.

STL mom Carmen Ward says her son, Paul, who has autism & intellectual disabilities, has come leaps & bounds & credits his charter school. “KIPP nurtured all of his gifts. They found things in my son that I didn’t know was there – that he didn’t even know was there.”#mogov #moleg

I was saddened to recently see a @MOSchoolLeaders lobbyist refer to Charter Schools as “cancer.”

This lazy, politically-motivated rhetoric does nothing to help the conversation about educating our kids.

Young people have helped lead all our great movements. How inspiring to see it again in so many smart, fearless students standing up for their right to be safe; marching and organizing to remake the world as it should be. We've been waiting for you. And we've got your backs.

You have to love what you do and do what you love. College is the place to figure exactly what that passion is. #ToandThrough @KIPP https://t.co/gLLmWWDiD0

If Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was preaching today, he would be speaking the idea that we are one people, one family, one house—the American house and the world house—that we must learn to live together as brothers and sisters, if not we will perish as fools.
