Geoffrey Canada says he's an angry black man. He's funny and poignant and he makes a few excellent points. He also sounds like Grover from Sesame Street and you can hear him speak inside the pages of the November issue of Brainspace Magazine.
Geoffrey Canada is an American educator but what he speaks of addresses many of the issues teachers and students face in Canadian schools.
Is our school "business model" a good one? Is summer break a good idea for struggling students? Is year-end standardized testing an effective cost?
In his opinionated talk, Enough is Enough, Geoffrey Canada makes us take a look at who the decision makers are, what their decisions are based on and why some of those decisions need to be questioned.
