James Ford: Don’t limit kids’ futures by the parents they didn’t choose

March 8, 2016 Education & Health

March 8, 2016

James Ford is a former N.C. Teacher of the Year. His years as a world history teacher at Garinger have been widely chronicled. Today he was back in Belmont/Villa Heights, which he identified as the stomping ground of many of his former students.

His short talk was focused on his new work with the N.C. Public School Forum, a nonprofit focused on education policy. A question from the floor brought a strong defense of helping children succeed, and not blaming them for any lack of support they have from home.

Material from his last visit to the Forum is here. The Public School Forum website is here.
