The problem with education today is that people replicate what's been done over and over without questioning the expected. If we truly believe that every child can achieve the highest outcome, why is it that only 40% of all school children have the intent to go to college, only one in ten actually does go and graduate from college.

What if it was different? What if 100% of America's children went to a great school and to and through college? Mike and Dave have proven that this idea is not impossible.

If promises were sacred... people would stop making excuses for why America can't do it. What does it really mean to go beyond what is expected?

Allowing great leaders to break out of the curriculum and do whatever it takes to help the children learn - great teachers, more time. No short cuts. No excuses, for kids as well as for teachers. Character. preK-16 and beyond. To all children.
