Where You're Born Shouldn't Decide Your Education
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does a child's birthplace have to do with their right to learn? Everything. And Dr. Kris Nystrom is doing something about it.
This clip explores the philosophical foundation of "reading the world," asserting that a child's place of birth should not dictate their access to education for all. It underscores the critical role of academic success in fostering social justice. This perspective drives the daily work of educators committed to education reform, questioning why any child should be treated as less than, and emphasizing the need for mental health support.
