The forum was an inspiring, intelligent, caring group of educators who clearly represent the millions of "pockets" around the world of people who care for and want the best for their children. We need to celebrate the hard work and dedication of all of those individuals for it is the single most important and noble job in the world: caring for, educating, and raising children. Work together and remember why you entered the profession.

I can't think of a more meaningful topic to discuss than parents and teachers working together to ensure that all children receive a high quality education. I'm thrilled that Kim Outlaw and Joevania Alexandre, both teachers from New Beginnings Family Academy public charter school in Bridgeport, and Deidre Lindsay, an NBFA parent, were among those sharing and learning. Thanks, 21st Century Conversations, for producing such an important piece.

I had the opportunity to view the show last Thursday. It was great to see educators and parents come together in order to focus on what is in the best interest of students. When all stakeholders(educators, parents, and community members) are involved in educating our students, they have a better chance at becoming life-long learners and productive citizens. Thanks "21st Century Conversations" for producing another great show.

Education is the building block of our society. Gone are the days when all a person needed was to be able to read and write simple sentences and he or she could get a fairly good paying job. Our young people today have to compete with people from all over the world for jobs. Besides, technology dictate that they have various levels of skills to function in any job at all. This program about parents and teachers team-building for the benefit of students is critically important. Again, this organization called OneWorld Progressive Institute is using public access TV to do some remarkable things. The programs they present to the community are extremely beneficial. Many larger community organizations should learn from OneWorld, and should visit the website to see what they are doing.
