In the end, not much.
I will examine these aspects in this order; these list items are all links:
1) Do for yourself …
2) Give up the word “deserve.”
3) Get your hands dirty.
4) Invest your own money.
5) Pray for the public schools.
6) Emanate love.

Back when I was a child, in Ohio in the early 1960s, I can remember times when temperatures dropped into the teens, or even significantly below zero. There would sometimes be thick frost on the windows. (Does that still happen in Ohio now? I wonder how cold it must get for that to happen.) No one used the language “polar vortex” or “arctic vortex” back then. Maybe — 50 years ago — such language did not yet exist.
I have come across numerous references in recent months, to the effect that poor and nonwhite students are highly disadvantaged by the inexperience of most of the teachers in their schools.
Teachers who have short careers in the field are often those who aren’t cut out for this work in the first place. But, however it happens, such persons wind up being concentrated in schools poor and nonwhite students attend.
We need to find a way to fix this.
