Text Version of Ed Rust Jr. Discussing Partnering with Educators and Communities

If we wait until a child drops out of school, it’s too late. What we need to be doing is partnering with educators, with teachers, communities, in looking at ways of building a level of excitement within our kids that will keep them in school. That will help them become better students, help them complete their formal education, but more importantly, in completing that education, do so that at a level of achievement that prepares them for the world of life outside of school.
