Seems like dude is controlling every aspect of the school and has no idea what he's doing.
I can't even imagine what the interview process for teachers and admin will be like or how any debate over curriculum will be resolved
Has any other individual involved with "the school" ever been in a video with Umar? :patrice:

A vice principal? A treasurer? A teacher? Or even a class clown? :patrice:

honestly, why not just run a fukking summer school. Have high school and college aged black kids Tudor kids. You can rent out university spaces to run summer camps and summer schools.

Real talk he can run a summer, spring and after school camp. I know a brotha that created one. Hell he could do one like the Icode school for STEM which has summer, spring and after school camp. The upkeep and cost isn't even that big.

Umar is just on some BS.

Your right. He wouldn't need 9 years to do one either. Gives him an opportunity to learn how to navigate around the things he's dealing with while also building up a core of kids that might want to go to his school. Would also give faith to the parents that he's not wasting their time. Seems like he wants to go 0 to 100 quickly. I wish him the best with this but I just don't see it.
lord Jamar told him to do this YEARS ago

The man was offered help by contractors looking to volunteer free labor and he basically shoved them away.
Anybody with discernment can see what’s happening here but the optics of opening a school with curriculums tailored to black youth pretty much insulate him from close inspection or be a victim of guilt complex and shaming tactics.

Which is it, the school's taken 15 years to get going, but he's going 0-100 quickly?

I mean that he wants to open a school without easing into it. I get he's a professor but opening a school from the jump seems a bit much. Which is probably why his inexperience is playing a part of how long it's taken to open one up.

It's taken this long I don't know how much more easing there could be.

Here is a movie about Marva Collins, being depicted by Cicely Tyson. The tale is in the same vein as Dr. Johnson's venture, as she was fed up with her local school system and started her own school out of her house, free of government aid. If for no other reason, consider watching the movie to learn about her and she was able to accomplish as an educator. Incredibly inspiring.

I hit him up and offered funds to maintain and repair that particular window for life.

Me and the homies going to start an adopt-a-window drive to make sure each of them has a lifetime donor :wow:

The revolution will not be stopped brothers and sisters :blessed:
