His words are comfort to a single mother's ears: my 15 year old son stumbled across his book, "A Letter to a Young Brother..." and shared it with me. It's awesome and has empowered my son to encourage others to read it and to strive for excellence. Thank you Mr. Harper for not keeping silent and taking action! Also, you are absolutely correct is saying, the 'no child left behind' idea is rhetoric than actual practice. I am an educator and all too often we are bombarded with challenges that prevent us from teaching. However, education must start in the homes and spread abroad...if we are to support the educational system and put into practice the 'no child left behind' concept.
