Linda Cliatt-Wayman: How to fix a broken school? Lead fearlessly, love hard
Summary
In North Philadelphia, in a poor area, there is a school that's not a school. It means that a school is labeled "low-performing and persistently dangerous" due to its low test scores and a lot of fighting, drugs, and violation. In the dark classrooms, there are a lot of piles of broken old furniture and desks. Many students don't attend classes. Even though attending students are scared from fighting and bullying, there is not an environment to study there. The poverty surrounded them gives them problems: social, emotional and economic problems. Although those might be parents themselves, some are the students themselves also.
However, those can change. 
There is a good leader and a top-notch leadership team who believed in the possibility of all the children. Tackled all problems which are about the school budget and schedule, even small things like keeping classrooms clean also.
Eliminating all excuses that are impossible teachers say. Children have abilities. Teachers have to contiune teaching and confront every obstacle with a "So what. Now What? What are we going to do about it?" attitude.
And then, educators should love all studens. They have to serve children in especially poverty and provide students with hope, knowledge and mental training to navigate the world around them. They always have to tell the students loving.
The speaker grew up in poor city. Now, she works at a school in its city as a principal. She loves her students and believes in them to change them in order to they can have dreams. She always says to students, "If nobody told you they loved you today, you remember I do, and I always will."
