Geoffrey Canada Giving Quotations

An extended school day gives administrators the ability to ensure children get a well-rounded education.

When kids know that you refuse to let them fail ... they don't give up as easy. So sometimes they don't have it inside, [but] they're like,'You know, I don't want to do this, but I know my mother's going to be mad.'That matters to kids, and it helps get them through.

I want to be a children’s hero… Children need heroes because heroes give hope; without hope they have no future.
