We LOVE you Dr. Love!!! We are Cayenne and Che' Davis, two Kindezi students who are living examples of what the mind is capable of when you first touch the heart of a child. Thank you for being on our team.
This is a HUGE challenge... Let's not use "Self-Defense".... Let's just ALL AGREE that we can ALL BE WAYYY BETTER... and... we can all give our students a WAYYYY BETTER VERSION OF OURSELVES. They deserve it.
Just saw Dr. Love speak at the Teachers for Social Justice Conference in San Francisco! She is an incredible human being and I am her co-conspirator yesterday, today and always! Power to the people!!!
I had the privilege of sitting in on one of Dr. Love's panels last year at the A3C Festival and she truly inspired me. I'm prepping for A3C 2014 and reflecting on all of the growth that my program has seen since our encounter. As an artist and youth advocate, I am truly grateful for her influence!
Here is an example of an ultimate GirlGeek! Dr. Love is embracing what she loves #HipHopGeek and spreading the love of hip hop education with the world! Phenomenal job sis! #forgirlgeeks #HipHopEd
Hip Hop culture certainly helped me in Plymouth UK in the `60`s when I was a Boy Scout in 7th Plymouth Troop and we were able to stage Ralph Reader`s `Gang Show` in the Palace Theatre, Union Street using props and costumes from the London production. Our performances then set a high standard for modern kids to achieve.
it's absolutely absurd, given the current conditions, to be making kids memorize all this dates names and formulas without giving them the why. It was absurd before but not as much as now with the Internet. It's not like teachers are unnecesary now - much the opposite -, but their job should be to make kids think and be able to search for the information they need. We live in the era of information, it's overwhelming now, so instead of add more (without the kid knowing why they should remember that), we should be focusing on filtering, so you have to build criteria, which is the opposite of saying "be silent, memorize this". I remember I used to read a book instead of listening in literature class, and I'm pretty sure the teacher knew but I guess he understood, so he never said anything. We really need to update our education system (my expierience is in Spain but I'm sure it applies for many others countries).
I don't believe in pretending we're all the same. I come from a bicultural background and I know better. We should acknowledge and celebrate these differences and not feel threatened. I have long seen qualities in African Americans that I could never put my finger on that I greatly admire and aspire to possess. Finally, someone described them perfectly: Social and emotional intelligence and grit. That's why blacks excel in sales everywhere I turn. As I told a friend, I feel culturally deprived. Lol.
It's really beautiful but I think it really could be applied to all children and is sadly isolated to a specific type of kids. Nearly all people in civilized worlds were colonized to push away robust traditions, all of us has generational history with deep connections to earth and one another that was taken away. What about native american kids. What about white kids who have been forced colonial views for hundreds or thousands of years, who eventually has lineage before colonial times. I love this. And think it's really sad that it isolates only specific children instead of sizing this model into helping all kids who come from different backgrounds and deep rich cultures. I think there must be ways to support each child's unique culture without isolating children into different classrooms just because of their past cultures or skin colors.
Hip Hop won’t help you design a bridge or formulate economic policy or send a satellite into space. So you can hip-hop or you want making minimum wage at Burger King. Good luck to you…

super powerful talk, right here..."Rap is something You Do, Hip-hop is something You Live" translation Hip-hop is emotional/social INTELLENGENCY.

"murdering their spirit" is the essence of schooling (as opposed to education)

@D Calton unquestioning rote memorization is a hallmark of maoism and stalinism, not just capitalism
Yes Absolutely! I love this video

Correlation with violent crime has entered the chat 💀💀💀
" hip hop is the latest in Black genius " ...
They're activating the cerebellum. The cerebellum coordinates the frontal lobe. But I don't think it's limited to blacks.
Hello girlman
Krazy! Creating and promoting Victimhood as a way of life and an excuse to destroy whatever she can destroy. What a sick person.
Yep delete my comment that tells about the truth. That figures.
What was your comment about?
@@thisisyourmindranting1095 FB deletes EVERY FACT>> IF IT IS A FACT>>> THEY DELETE IT>>> FACT/

Good luck to you…
You missed the point Michael....transferable skills...
Even if you go through traditional curriculum, you may still not able to build bridges..duh
There was no learning going on there.
Define what learning is.
