This presentation explores the cycle of poverty in the context of education, including humorous anecdotes of the speaker's experiences teaching math and coaching basketball at a school near the Mississippi delta. The speaker offers lessons and solutions that need to be explored to improve education in impoverished areas. Many government and national theories on education are wildly misguided because the policymakers do not understand what actually happens at these schools. In the presentation, the speaker clarifies which theories hold weight and which need to be abandoned for the improvement of the American education system.
