Preach…”If collaboration is the most important thing in your end goal, the only way to make a whole lot of people happy is to not change anything. But if you want to change things, the fact is there will be a group of people mad at you.

There’s the unbelievable willingness to turn a blind eye to the injustices that are happening to kids every single day in our schools in the name of harmony amongst adults.

When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have to have poor schools. When you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. When you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. When you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. And that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. So, it’s a very vicious cycle.
