So it's the homecoming edition. 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.640 Actually, as we said before, our Baltimore tides run deep, 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.880 but this is actually a Greenberg thing. 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.600 To the town, to the town, shout out to the town. 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:32.760 So we all are from Greenberg. We have special guests. Valencia. 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.360 Let's just call you a member, family member. 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.200 Family member of founder Valencia Clay. 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:43.960 I call her Valve, So I'll be calling her valve 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.080 throughout the interview. It's just a habit of mine, but 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:46.560 the world. 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.880 She's Valencia Dclay and she's about to be doctor Clay, 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.760 so she really needs no introduction, but I'll just give 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:53.880 one anyway. 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:55.960 She's a rock star teacher. 0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:01.840 She has changed the Court of education, how teachers teach 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:07.320 their classroom. She's given inspirations to millions of people. And 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:12.280 above all that, Rihanna follows her. That's like the highest 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.800 level of the only thing that is Beyonce. 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.040 So that's that's your biggest was like, I mean, Rihanna 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.040 was crazy like she like, but when Jada follows you, 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:22.799 you were. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.800 Like, oh my god, was like amazing, Oh my god, 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:27.440 I died. 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:32.000 Yeah, Rihanna, Jada Holly Berry, she was in Vogue, she's 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:38.840 been on ABC News, NBC, she's working with National Geographics. 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.880 She's lit all the way around. So we are honored 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.960 to have her. And as I said, it's a Greenberg thing. 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:51.240 She's from Harlem too. But it's a long story. But 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.160 for this one, for this purpose is we're just gonna 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.680 claim Greenberg. So we're gonna jump right into it. We 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.400 got a lot of information to cover on education. A 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.800 money play he's behind education how it all talks, because 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.839 it all comes back to money. Everything in this society 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.280 comes back to money. So yeah, we're gonna we're gonna 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.159 jump right into it and let's get it gone. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:09.560 He val. 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.280 I'm just gonna touch on the tutoring thing because that's 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.400 like a billion dollar business. I don't think people really understand, 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.320 especially when when we were talking about the college scandal, 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.040 like parents trying to get their kids into schools. It's 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.479 a thirteen billion dollar business. But people are paying for 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.400 the preparation for the SAT prep for the counseling. Now 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.400 that's a new thing in counseling because the pressure of 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:31.760 trying to. 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:36.440 Take essays right, just that like counseling, that's social emotional. 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:41.159 So people are making money off the social emotional warfare 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.240 that is played on us, right, you know, and that 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.120 I mean us as everybody, because yeah, let's talk about 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:52.560 test anxiety, school anxiety period. I realized that my students, 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:57.520 they always do my projects late unless we do every 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.520 single piece of it together. If I give them something 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.240 to do independently this school year, and I'm not gonna 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.320 say that I can't fix this because we're gonna keep trying. 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:06.279 I got a whole. 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.320 Quarter left, but so far the school year they haven't 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.000 been able to turn anything in on time. 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.440 Why because it's hard, and that anxiety of feeling like 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.920 you can't even do it is so real. It's learned helplessness, 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.159 but it's still real. It's still real. 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.560 And that all comes from postal radislation syndrome, which is 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.480 which is financial literacy that we don't even learn about. 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.159 We don't learn about those aspects of what slavery did. 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.560 We don't learn about the financial aspects of it. We 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:39.640 don't learn who we were before brown versus bored as cities. 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.480 We don't learn these things in school. So it all 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.440 goes to curriculum cases. 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:44.279 That's what we start. 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.120 But none of our schools are teaching these kinds of 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:50.000 curriculums because that's not on the standardized test. So you 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.320 give people a standardized test and you say this is 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.000 what you need to do in order to say. 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:55.719 That you are intelligent. 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.719 So then you get schools looking at that test saying 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.040 I need to teach these things Y and Z only 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.320 so that my students will do well in this test. 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:04.560 So that our school can keep its money. 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.920 I just read an article in the Post this morning 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.480 about a mother in the Bronx she can't get her 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:14.240 five kids into any charter schools in the city. And 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.320 then that same publication rode a post that was in 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:23.080 favor in favor of charter schools. So I'm looking at 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:27.680 this post and I'm realizing they're using their platform right now, 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.400 in my opinion, to say, look, we need more charter schools. 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.960 See how these parents can't get their kids into charter schools. 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:35.920 They're not saying no, we need to figure out how 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.120 to put public funding charter funding put. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:40.400 They're in the public buildings. 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.200 Why are they charter schools because it's called that it's 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.040 still a public school, but you're getting different money because 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:46.680 somebody else is running it with the same kind of 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.000 agenda to pass these standardized tests. 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.800 The problem and the problem with the test is it's 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.200 like a one size fit to one, but everybody learns different. 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.720 So, yeah, it's a business show. So always like to 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.239 tie it in the money, and education, like all things 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.360 in society, is tied into money. Right, So we take 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.520 these tests, like you said, the charter schools versus private schools, 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.080 versus public schools, and these are things that the decisions 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.480 that parents are making without actually really thinking about it. 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:15.840 They're just doing it right. But ultimately it comes down 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:16.160 to money. 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.080 It's money. It's a money issue, right. The standardized test 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.080 is a billion dollar issue, and they are. 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:21.640 Thinking about it. 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.000 That mother in that article, she said, I don't want 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:25.640 to send my kids to the. 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.720 Public schools because their test scores are terrible. Those were 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.120 her words in the article. They are thinking about it. 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.000 They're thinking about what the oppressor wants them to think about. 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.400 They're thinking exactly about test scores. They're thinking about the 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:38.000 stuff that. 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:43.480 We want them to think about, financial literacy, we want 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:44.719 them to think about their history. We want them to 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:46.800 think about how to be innovative, how to become an 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.800 entrepreneur when you grow up in some sort of way, 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.160 how to become a leader, how to become you know 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.120 something more than somebody tells you you have to do 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:55.960 the same thing over and over nine to five robot. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:57.439 We are we want that. 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.839 But these parents that are saying let's send us to 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.120 a sent to a charter, they're not realizing that these 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.640 test scores are showing everything but what we want. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.560 These test scores are not preparing right. 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.120 It's preparing them to pass a test, which in life, 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:18.040 right after you've left college and those SAT scores, it's. 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.960 Supposed to prepare them to And if you look at 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:24.480 our babies test scores, it's still shown that they're reading 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:28.080 is at an all time love. And that's what I'm saying. 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.080 That's the sense of urgency we have to have. If 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.160 we're going to talk about business, then we need to 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:37.360 think about how we rally businesses to make sure that 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:38.280 kids have more. 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:38.920 Of what they need. 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.800 And I don't feel like enough businesses are talking about 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:45.360 that are talking about children and schools and reading and 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.439 writing and math and science school. 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.280 It's like I said, I read an article from the 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.600 Brickins Is too and it was just like schools become 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.920 a product. It's actual product that they're selling. 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:55.160 Right. 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.600 So like when we sell a test to a school 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.680 district or state and they buy it, it's like, all right, 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:03.480 everybod he passed this. Now the educator has to kind 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:05.559 of like curtall what they're doing. It's like, you know what, 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.760 I have to have these kids pass or I'll be 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.120 viewed as ineffective, you know what I mean? 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.160 And right now. 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.560 My data, my school as a whole our kids did 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.000 not move. A lot of our teachers have to have 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:20.679 I'm not going to talk for everybody. I'm telling aout 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.360 myself because I know people are listening. I don't let 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:28.240 anybody to feel away. But my data, my data was 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:32.560 only effective, not highly effective. Why because only a certain 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.520 amount of my kids grew this year a certain amount 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.240 of points I have. We had a goal all kids 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.160 had to move this many points by the end of 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.320 the year, and if they didn't, we don't get our money. 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.640 I don't get a raised next year. I work my 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.160 ass off this year and I'm not going to get 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.720 a raise because their test scores don't show their test 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.200 score that's not the reading, not this, not these things 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.320 that I got in this notebook that they know, not this, 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.600 not these words. Their standardized test score shows that they 0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:01.240 didn't grow. So therefore I am I'm not I'm not 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:02.040 highly effective. 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:02.800 Nope, I'm not. 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.679 Like that's that's the money play behind it, because you're 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.360 you're you're not understanding. Curriculum dictates what our children learn, 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.720 who they become. It dictates who we are, what we're doing. 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.920 And this is not a wee as in just teachers. 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:18.760 This is the world because education is the world. How 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.080 are you gonna how else could you get here? And 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.599 you I, all three of us at this table have 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.280 totally different We went to the same schools, granted, but then. 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:32.199 We have totally different educational narratives. 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.320 But then also he still ended up in the same place. 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.040 So for me, my personal perspective on education is, Okay, 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.360 I'm outside because you guys work in schools. You're you 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.960 don't like to teach this term teacher, You're an educator, 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:44.679 right right? 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.400 Teacher both? Okay, so you're both. 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.439 I think the term is when he says you're a 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:50.120 school teacher. 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.199 I mean, so, all right, you're both. 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.360 You're both educators, and I'm in business, right, I mean, 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.160 you're both in business as well on a certain level. 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.560 But so the thing about it is, I feel like 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:04.480 my outside experiences have helped me more and even in 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.840 sports have helped me more. So I don't feel like 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.880 I don't think that what you learn in school is 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:12.120 going to be the key to your success. 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.480 Yeah, because let me learn, it doesn't stop in the classroom. 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.520 It doesn't stop in the classroom, and you learn way 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.679 more outside of the classroom than you ever learned inside. 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.920 Of the classroom because life is a teacher twenty four 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:22.080 hours a day, you know what I mean, So like 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:22.800 that's important. 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:24.440 Life is going to be your teacher. 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.800 So like when I see Valencia post things, I'm like, 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.199 I can see the passion in her. 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.280 I know some of those things are not in the 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:32.439 curriculum of Maryland. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.040 My thing is, why is that okay with you? 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:34.319 No? 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.160 No, it's not okay. It's not okay that what. 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.480 You're saying is true, that we're not learning and what 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:40.559 we need in schools. 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:42.199 So you what's your platform? 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.679 Has to keep doing this so that you can that 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:47.760 was We can't sit here and be like, yeah, we 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:49.600 not learning nothing in school. No, we have to knock 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.400 the doors down and change that so that the bays 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.040 are learning something in school. Because let me tell you 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.240 what it looks like when they're wasting their time. It 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.120 looks like then when I come in to try to 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.160 give them as much as I can, they don't want 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:00.760 it because they're so used wasting their time. 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:02.080 That's what they think they should be doing. That's all 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.920 they want to do. That's what they desiring. Now, not everybody, 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:06.760 but this is what's happening to too. 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:10.600 Many because it's like year one grade, right, So by 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.040 the time they've gotten to you, they've had years of 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.959 people who probably have not reached them. In a sense, 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:20.480 it's like you only can be what you see, right, 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.800 So like when they see somebody like you, it's like, wow, 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.719 I can imagine the eighth pen that. 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.680 Yes, But also you don't understand what it looks like 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:29.400 when you have. 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.640 Hard working teachers, well meaning. 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.720 That's why I love Cardigi was in chapter three, The 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.760 Miseducation of the Ney World, he talks about the well 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.160 meaning missionaries that went down south when we were well, 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.000 when our ancestors were finally given the right to learn 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.440 how to read them write. These well meaning missionaries went 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.440 down and they opened the Freedman schools. But they taught them. 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:52.280 What they taught them was not true history true. They 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:56.840 taught them a whitewashed education. This is the same thing 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:58.719 that's happening right now in our schools. You have these 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.040 well meaning educators, no matter what color, ethnic background, doesn't matter. 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.040 We are all well meaning doing what we are told. 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.560 You're right, But as a whole, yet, thank you. That's 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:14.280 why as a whole it looks like this. It looks 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.080 like this on purpose though it looks like this on purpose, 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.960 and it's scary because if we don't continue to have 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:25.120 these conversations in a way that has a solution for 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:29.840 the children, it's gonna stay the same and the money plays, 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.640 these financial podcasts won't mean a thing because if the 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.320 babies are not learning, they're gonna keep growing up. 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:36.920 You're gonna keep having the same podcast. 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:38.640 We got to make sure that this is a seed, 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.960 but not the end all be all, because the goal 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.040 is for us to not need The goal is for 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:48.120 it to be a norm, that financial literacy being your 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.760 healthiest money self. 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.840 Like you know what I'm saying, You're understanding. 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.360 It from a healthy perspective. If you can understand money 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.320 from in the same way we understand food in a 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.200 nutrition way, nutritious way. If we if we understood our 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.080 money in our bank accounts and our finances, we understood 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.960 the difference between saving right, if we understood the difference 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.480 between spending and investing and the difference between those two words. 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.920 If we teach the babies that and it's normal in 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:16.440 their minds, that's that's. 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:17.000 Where we have to go. 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.200 Well, it's interested that you said the nutrition thing, because 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.760 we don't understand nutrition. No, going back to some of 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:27.120 us majority going back into school, right, like with the 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:33.240 pizza and milk at the lunch and it's like this 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.440 is terrible, right, And I was fortunate enough to never 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.880 eat school lunch, like my mom packed me lunch every day. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:39.840 That was very rare. 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:41.320 I remember that. 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.280 It's like, looking back on it now, that was such 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.800 a blessing that she even took the time because she 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:50.560 knew because it's like everybody else was eating pizza and 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:51.400 and so what if. 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.440 We have the moms like your mom who you know, 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.520 his mom was his mom? 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.600 What if we had more moms going into the community 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.000 saying we can't let them feed our babies this, Like 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.600 we just there's so much that we have accepted that 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.040 we didn't know that we were accepting, or that we 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.960 didn't know that there were more options for because there's 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:13.440 so many other priorities that we have. 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.240 It's like we can't think about we just have got 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:16.880 school lunch. 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:22.240 Like we don't realize that they're feeding us. 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:22.760 Yeah. 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:24.680 But then once again going back to the money, right, 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:28.720 so these schools have contracts with food vendors, right, with 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.920 dairy companies with so it's not like they're not just 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:33.000 getting this food out the star. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:36.720 It's a million million billion dollar. 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.920 Contracts doesn't if we talk about real estate, if we 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:41.880 talk about banking, we talk about school, it all comes 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:43.160 back to money man everything. 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.080 And that's the that's the beauty of the podcast because 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:46.760 it's so broad ranging that we can talk about so 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.600 many different things. But education is you know, like you 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.760 said that, that's like the ground rule of the kids beginning, right, 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:54.560 they go to preschool, they go to kindergarten, they go 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:59.480 to you go to school. And school is is a business, right, 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.640 it's a business. College college is a bit business. 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.560 We know that. We cover that, so so. 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.080 All right, so we talked about some problems, but we're 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:11.439 not this podcast is not a great a cloud or 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.760 you know, we're not going to just leave you in gloom. 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.439 We're gonna now talk about some solutions and how we 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.239 can hopefully change the world. That's what we had to do, 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.400 all right, So once again, we're not going to leave 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.960 you guys, you know, feeling like there's no hope, because 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.440 there's always hope, there's always hoping. That's why we started 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:34.200 this podcast is to inspire people, right and to give inspiration. 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.720 That's the most valuable thing. That's the most important thing 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:41.280 that you can ever give some So all right, now 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.359 we talked about what's wrong in the education system. But 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.440 I know one of your goals now is to one 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:50.160 day be the secretary of Education. 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.920 I wrote that down. I have the text. 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:59.000 I was like, wow, like that's super ambitious, Like, let's 0:17:59.040 --> 0:17:59.320 do it. 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.760 So you heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen, the pressure. 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.600 So all right, so that's one of your goals. And short, 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.320 like I said, you're you're an educator as well. You 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:13.320 both educated. So we know that money is and it's 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.520 a lot of times people say, you know what the 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:17.280 average this is the average person. I'm just gonnakeep it real. 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.879 I can't fix it, so I even worry about it. Right, Like, 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:23.040 this thing has been going on for so long. The 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.119 school systems are failed. The kids in poor neighborhoods are 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.080 not going to get the same education as kids that 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.160 go to private schools that live in rich neighborhoods. 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:31.479 It's never going to be equal. 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.200 It's like almost like the marching syndrome, Like while we're 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.440 gonna keep trying to march one This is why the 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:38.959 entrepreneur thing comes into play with people like myself, not 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:40.560 to say like when we tipped in, we used to 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.040 that white think that's okay. I don't think it's okay. 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:45.080 But I feel like I'm not expecting anybody to do 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.280
