How can we give each student 1 hour a week 1 on 1 attention? Working on whatever we are working on and then stop when the kids came in and tutor. Even funnier was operating a business and tutoring company behind a Pirate Supplier Store. The best was the .com auction and 11 G4′s. If you are on Valencia Street kids run to get tutored there.
Stigma was at work “Kids weren’t going to some place to get help” Publishing, Tutoring and Pirate Store at Work. It evolved and then the space for tutoring needed to be used prior to 230pm. The whole thing evolved and tons of tutors and then the schools started asking them to start going to the schools to help those who wouldn’t be able to go to the store. Then “Schools gave us classroms”
Funnier yet was that he stated the Pirate store started to make money and pay the rent. Then in Brooklyn a superhero store opened. The same thing occurred a huge tutoring opportunity. Kids became smarter and loved to learn. Kids became authors, and Kids loved education.
It just didn’t end there. Seattle sprouted a space travel store. Then another city and another store ….boring spy store. LA Time travel Store. Ann Arbor, Dublin Ireland
“Those who can write effectively get ahead.”
His TED wish. “I wish you personally to find a way to engage in a public school and tell the story of how you got involved. “

Karen Armstrong
Karen writes on Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism. She is a former nun, now a “freelance monotheist”. She has advanced the theory that fundamentalist religion is a response to and product of modern culture. (thanks Wikipedia)
Religion should be a force to bring the world together she stated and people are longing for change.
“Religion is kind of a fault line. When a conflict gets ingrained in a region religion gets sucked in”
She told a story about the iliad. Very moving.
Wish: ” I wish that you would help with the creation, launch and propagation of a Charter for Compassion, crafted by a group of leading inspiration thinkers from three abrahamic traditions of judaism, christianity and Islam and based on fundamental principle of universal justice and respect
