Greetings!,
Often I get asked the question, "You are so successful at teaching inner city kids at Hope, couldn't you remove
the spiritual component of what you do and multiply Hope as a movement of
government-funded charter schools?"
I
asked myself the same question with the release of Waiting
for Superman, a film that documents the heart-wrenching failure of our public
school system to serve our nation's most vulnerable: inner city youth.
The question the film invites viewers to ask is, where will change come
from?
