R.I.P to my aunt Harriett J. Ball. if it werent for u, this wouldnt be possible.

[SuperStreamlineTV]

I want to study at KIPP instead of some lousy private school....

[lornaalice]

we were shown this today in school as an act of motivation. Where I'm from in the UK, we have the highest grades in the area [northumberland] but have the biggest population of low income families- like i am. this video has proved to me that i can go onto uni and prove others wrong. all i really want to say is basically Thank You for showing me that i don't have to stay a small town girl, but can do bigger things with time, effort and dedication, as long as i'm willing to put the effort in.

[spitfireking0825]

SHOUT OUT TO SAYDA I CANT BELIVE HOW GROWN YOU ARE!! I LOVE YOUR POEM!!

[spitfireking0825]

I have no words to express the gratitude i have to have been part of something so great as a member of KIPP ACADEMY in the Bronx class of 2008 i know it has made me what i am today. If i could do it all over again I would. TEAM AND FAMILY!

I went there for 2 months and I left because they had me so fucking tramatised!!My friend would pee his pants becuase he was so scared that the teachers would do somehting to him that's why we people who have sense in our mind will support the FBI investigation against KIPP if we volunteer we can get all KIPP schools closed pass this on!!!

What resources do you need to open one of these schools in Salt Lake City? I have a fat rolodex. Drop me a message. Let's make it happen.

Although I'm not mentioned, I helped Mike & Dave with that first KIPP class back in 1994 (I'm in the picture on the right in a black & white vest). I'm so proud of all of the KIPPsters - even those who are not mentioned in the video who are success stories in their own right.

[akerblom1]

im doing a schoolproject about this KIPP thing..and its hard to translate everything to Swedish..

[graceatbaker]

this is awesome!

A couple of my close friends dropped out of Teach for America a few years ago, discouraged by the limits set on the volunteer teachers by administrators, tying their hands. They both felt there had to be a better answer to bettering our nation's education for the underprivileged. Is this it?

[overheat31]

I am a KIPP LA Prep middle school student

[krazykelsey24]

Thanks for posting this-- when I saw it at the summit, I was moved to tears and I just love watching it over and over again. As a KIPP teacher, it just reminds me why we work so hard every single day and what the results will be down the line when our students graduate from college and become successful citizens.

[Safeara]

Im a KIPP Delta student!

[tsekaty]

I watched it today at school when we talked about inequilities in education. I was moved.

btw I am a KIPP King student! (didn't go to KIPP Summit though)
