How One Woman Reinvented School To Combat Poverty

[@DearScareltLetter]

this woman is so inspirational, I hope to be like her some day. all these ideas are so clever.

[@BladeRedwind]

It would be wonderful if schools could be community centers on top of just being schools.

[@DCI74]

That is the very crux of the community school model which is being implemented across the globe.

[@MrCleates]

What an amazing woman.

Dude I cried a little, what a kind loving woman, thank you for you're humanity.

[@JackJones-sh5oy]

Brilliant. She's a true hero.

[@kjw5593]

Literally shed tears... This was one of the most beautiful mini-documentaries I've ever seen on KZbin! GREAT MESSAGE!

[@Oc4ever12]

Wow! What an amazing woman! She provides a food bank, health care, and clothing! Wow!

[@bridgetbaker4556]

Dr. Tiffany Anderson is truly changing the world! What an inspiration she is to so many educators and students across the country!

[@travisheidelberg447]

Yes! Dr. Tiffany Anderson is the GOAT to me.

[@evelynhernandez1939]

It is truly amazing to see how much one person can change the lives of many.

[@valeriadelrio-rodriguez4953]

This was so touching 😢😢😢 these school programs should be national

[@michellekaiser5907]

I'd be very interested in hearing how she found and built good partnerships. I love the part where parents get to trade laundry facilities for volunteering. Nothing helps people understand schools, like investing their time in them.

[@Ensostyle]

the most sad thing is that what she doing looks amazing instead to be common in our life, that how should be life - love, compasion, courage.

[@luissarti4227]

Who says angels don’t walk among us. Thank you so much for your sincere care, love, and strength you give. But most of all for making a difference!

[@texaspeace7108]

Be the change you wish to see. God bless those like Dr. Anderson

[@hanaadil8924]

God bless people like her and efforts like this.

[@joshuzumaki5087]

This women is tremendous! She gives faith, love , and care for the community of school, giving them a future to look upon. This is a very inspirational women :)

[@marcelinhaguimaraes]

[@alfredsalazar9892]

when I watch this it inspires me to know that the vision and will of one person is unstoppable Amen.

[@bornjusticerule5764]

salute, HIGH SALUTE to Dr. Anderson!!!!

[@sheilandabain1674]

Brought tears to my eyes. We need more like her.

[@deborahlee63]

Her work should be a model for all failing schools to follow.

[@ministryoftruth1451]

all public schools are failures., but not because they don't have this, but because they do. Nothing about this was smarter, just harder.

[@kevingolden734]

Holy shit this is insane that is one smart woman

[@r-fac6031]

Wow, simply amazing, why don't other Black Superintendents and Principals get it? As an African American, I see many Black Superintendents and Principals oppress poor black people, to see Dr. Anderson do such an amazing job of supporting black families in need gives me hope 👏🏿👏🏿

[@whycaninotfindagood]

Let’s not just say Black but hold all Superintendents and Principals accountable

[@LILaw-db9yr]

This woman deserves/has earned a nobel prize.

[@julianedesfayes6154]

Very interesting content. I like this format

[@renatekerbusch6664]

What a fantastic programme! I am really impressed.

[@Ephremjlm1]

This is awesome. Its people like this that we need to help shape change in schools all around the country.

[@valereirenfro9040]

Very inspirational. All schools across the country need to take a cue from this woman. INVOLVED! Not long ago went I attended high school the principal would act stuck up & unapproachable. There was no such thing as a greeting! Cold & distant was all I remember. All schools need to be a community.

[@hansonfeng7440]

This is so heart warming ❤️

[@smilesandowls]

Such an inspiring woman.

[@sriccharon4398]

a really great effort

[@paulylorino4463]

Incredible woman!

[@Livingmybestliferightnow]

This is a great story

[@imkhaotic4645]

this is so great!

[@Rosalyn_Damiana]

She’s building them up. I hope they can come back to their community and pour into other young kings and queens like Doctor Tiffany Anderson.

[@travisiommi]

This is amazing. Exactly how to get people involved....it's about building a community.

[@lc2865]

beautiful!

[@aledello3]

Dr. Anderson for president!

[@brigittebeck7762]

Finally! THANK-YOU!

[@michaelcampbell5849]

This Principal understands community partners and benefits. The Principal created a Resource Center for their community.

[@williamrasasane364]

Such a queen

[@ohilyD]

Hi! I read about this Incredible woman in a romanian book, called: “The ambassadors of good”. What a small WORLD! Her story impressed me. I want to make a difference in my place. Greetings!

[@seanj4119]

Listen well, Betsy DeVos! This is how you improve failing public schools. Not gutting or privatizing them. Nurture them.

[@valeriadelrio-rodriguez4953]

Yaaaaasssss 👏👏👏👏👏

[@MostPowerfulPMofIndia]

Wish all places were clean

[@jaybae9124]

Y'all, she was the best superintendent that Jennings ever had! We miss her dearly, and pray she will come back to us

[@theGreenKnightXXVI]

Looks like Jennings, under Dr. Tiffany Anderson, has achieved amazing things. Imagine what schools could achieve with the funding and staffing they really deserve.

[@gilbertoresendez37]

That high school looks better than the way I went to

[@micksylvestre2887]

They need to make a movie about her.

[@bandrukesucks]

Damn! I gotta start readin a book.

[@cateclism316]

The solution starts where you live...the answer starts with you!

[@bonitadsouza4805]

Yes Jesus please bless her.Mother Mary protect her

[@unsc2060]

LOL while politicians argue about the implementation of socialism, these amazing community members are already doing it with brilliant results.

[@travisiommi]

Gunnery Sgt. Hartman ....This isn't socialism or based on socialist principles. This is about building community which we in America have lost.

[@DCI74]

This is not socialism by any stretch of the imagination. Granted I agree that she is doing something that works, please don't degrade her efforts by injecting political dialogue that isn't remotely applicable.

[@ministryoftruth1451]

What are the results? More failure is all I saw. You've really lowered your expectations.

[@funstuff81girl]

People in here arguing about social politics are bullshit. This is beautiful, just beautiful.

[@tusenbensen334]

Go on

[@maestrotownsend8833]

A 4 hour commute? Unreal.

[@Oc4ever12]

And she provides free laundry!

[@PoppySzn]

❤❤❤❤

[@PeteS_1994]

She reminds me of Marva Collins

[@tylergnosis2581]

Good plan but let's see how long it lasts

[@danielfadavi]

I just wanna know where the freakin money came from

[@SeekerStories]

Hi APeekOfLife - Dr. Anderson was able to find the funding through applying for grants for the school and for cutting extra positions; for example, she saved money by being the superintendent, cross guard, substitute teacher, etc. all at once. Dr. Anderson did mention to us an issue with grants and schools. She said, “One example, and every state has to deal with this, there are these school improvement grants; that sounds great and it is good to get extra dollars when you’re not doing well, but unfortunately, once we improved, we did not quality for any of the school improvement grants. So the worse you do, the more you are rewarded in the system that we currently have.” It points to an important flaw in our system that could be holding back a lot of schools across the country. Thanks for watching!

[@fernidad135]

+Seeker Stories I work for the Santa Ana Unified School District and I'd love to take a crack at implementing her genius ideas. Where can I get some more information?

[@ItsGroundhogDay]

Tax dollars of the people this video claims are oppressive.

[@HappinessTheBrand]

@@lllumo1389 you don't pay taxes because you're not oppressive, oppressive people pay taxes because if you didn't you'd go to jail. Your tax money also funds wars :-)

Education as an Antidote for Hunger Recently, the UN, and several related organizations, marked two significant dates: the World Food Day and the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. International organizations for the poor and hungry have existed at least since the end of World War II, but neither poverty nor hunger have been eradicated. If anything, they have increased. What, then, are we doing wrong, and can we change the dismal reality? The problem is not lack of food; there is plenty of it. In fact, much of the food that is produced gets thrown away and pollutes the water and the ground rather than feeding hungry mouths. So people are hungry not for lack of food, but because there is no interest in helping people get it. The prevailing attitude is one of narcissism. We care only for ourselves and suspect everyone else’s intentions toward us. If we have any surplus funds, we use them to build walls and fences, not to help others. This is how we behave around the world as individuals and as nations. To quiet our conscience, we create organizations to tend to the poor and hungry. We fund them generously and appoint functionaries and bureaucrats to deal with the problem. But if our hearts were with the poor, we would not leave them in the hands of bureaucrats, just as we would not leave our children in the hands of social workers to see to their upbringing. We would see that the people we care about get what they need. Because we do not care, we appoint uncaring people who present plans for dealing with the spreading poverty and hunger, and announce special days to bring the problem to public awareness. They do not do a thing about the actual problems, but simply justify their bloated salaries through professionally designed presentations and verbose speeches that glorify their (nonexistent) achievements. If they truly wanted to solve the problem, which funds their lavish lifestyle, there would be many ways to do so. However, the surest way to lift people from poverty is education. First, there are technologies that can increase the yield of fields by multiple times through sophisticated irrigation systems, controlled environments, and other means. Farmers need to be taught how to use these technologies, and should be given the means to acquire them. This step alone would lift countless people out of hunger and poverty. Next, I think that organizations for eradication of poverty and hunger should use their budgets to buy lands where they will both grow crops for food that will be dedicated for the poor, and use some of the land to teach local farmers more efficient agriculture. Additionally, these centers for agriculture and education should be used in order to provide general education. It is well known that educated people have more opportunities in life, are generally better off, and can provide for themselves and their families better than uneducated people. Therefore, as a means to eradicate poverty and hunger, these centers should also provide general knowledge and education. Also, education should not be only about avoiding poverty. Poverty is not a personal matter, but a social one. Therefore, people who study at these education centers should also learn about solidarity, mutual responsibility, interdependence in today’s world, and other topics that will help them establish themselves as positive elements in a connected world. In this way, we can create an agrarian transformation that will become a social and cultural transformation that can free people not only from the grip of poverty and hunger, but integrate them in the global society of the 21st century as confident and positive individuals. In turn, these people will help others rise from poverty, and the process will gain momentum.

[@mateozero8]

Is there any contact information for this beautiful woman?

[@chrisgewirtz5875]

Thinking of the best comment to leave based on the few I'm reading. How about this: It's possible to watch this whole video even if you think you disagree with it on "political" grounds. It's possible to listen to people you disagree with! What a thought! When you fail to even listen or consider (I'm not saying agree) you create an echo chamber, a selection bias. Plain and simple. If you think something is true, fine. Why should it hurt so much to consider alternative viewpoints?

[@sandrasmith6963]

ALWAYS a bw going above and beyond..god bless her...i hope she gets the support SHE NEEDS AT HOME.🤔

[@roxanadelacruz6485]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@jzk2020]

I thought she was teaching how to start their own businesses, how politics works so they can use the money they make to control the political landscape, and how to practice group economics so they can attract $1 mil. into their community and have it exchange hands between 10 other people in their community essentially turning that $1mil. into $10 mil and drastically improving their community that way.

[@saidz8788]

I had to watch this shit for english class.

[@JakubWaniek]

I was with her up to the 'systems of oppression' part.

[@fernidad135]

Do you live there? Did you grow up in a place where poverty and crime was the norm? If not, then don't act like you know.

[@JakubWaniek]

I respect what this woman does and I applaud her for it. but some parts around the world, people don't have schools and even teachers. I'm sorry but this is not poverty.

[@DaveWard-xc7vd]

The cognative shortfalls of blacks causes their communities to flounder which in turn affects their ability to get an education which in turn affects their employment opportunities which feeds back into the loop to create poverty. Only 16% of american blacks have an IQ above 100. The mean IQ of a high school graduate is 105. Half of American blacks have a mean IQ of 85 and below.
