there's malcolm x. malcolm x isn't dr. martin luther king. what's the difference? and what does this guy, this guy, and this guy have in common? because these things may be necessary for us now, as we go into the future. where are we headed and where are the answers? i have to tell you that about a year ago i was trying to figure out, 8-28. i was trying to figure out what was going on. what i was supposed to do, what i was supposed to talk about and people ask me all the time. where do we go from here? where is the guy? where is the president and where is the-- the more i went down the road of trying to figure things out, the more i realized that the answer isn't in washington, it's not in politics, it's in here. we have to fundamentally change ourselves. so, as i'm looking to the touch future, the thing i did a year ago, i went back to the beginning. i went to this guy. the first real revolutionary, moses and the ten commandments. so, we're going to have a discussion with people who know about these, these guys. with us, dr. alveda king, the director of african-am

given that we have malcolm x and carver going so far out, my one feedback would be whether we can consider having aptos being one of those school. it is one of the middle schools that has successfully closed the gap in ela and math for latino students. looking at where we feed, it makes sense to look at what schools are successful a closing the gap. years from now, hopefully all of our schools will be closing the gap and it will not be an issue. i would like to look to the data in terms of which schools are currently doing that. as far as we -- as long as we're having them go so far out of their community as a feeder school. the middle school diversity, language pathway. those are most of my comments for right now. there is a lot of information. i really appreciate all the parents the came out tonight to give us their feedback. we have several other meetings as well. i am really excited about the pathways. i love the idea of communities of fifth graders going to the same middle schools, changing in impacting the makeup of the school. i am really excited about that. the last thing is anothe

i love martin luther king, but also malcolm x, sometimes you have to really hold your ground.ompassion, kindness, education. rather than more killing. >> when you graduated in 1965, it was the height of the civil- rights movement. you just alluded to the environment that you were growing up in. as a young musician, what was it like for you in san francisco at the time? >> it was heaven on earth. we would go down to the fillmore and see these great band, the doors, and jimi hendrix, cream, and then go down to the grove to see other music. you could go to the mission district to hear mexican. everywhere i went there was this multi dimensional color and i felt like it was on necessary for me to do just one. like baskin-robbins, i want all the flavors. you cannot just be a mexican play music. there is a lot of beauty in that, but it was not for me. i was born without arms around my heart that wants to embrace everything. palestine's, israelis. japanese, apaches. i am more concentrated with life and love than flags, nationality, religion. that stuff gets in the way. one gets in the

hoover would get mount malcolm x. a think the naacp has conducted of it before. the kids who move across town on the side to the west side have not had a good experience. they felt they were second-class citizens. they were socially isolated. with this integration, this really provides the opportunity and justification to raise quality in east side schools. i do not think the policy that exists now in which the lowest performing schools have the least experienced teachers should continue. thank you. >> i am the parent of a kindergarten girl who is currently unassigned. i want to reiterate the comments about the intent of making it certainty more of a feeling for parents next year. looking at the map and listening to comments in the neighborhood, there are five schools close to me. i see no certainty that if my girls were in kindergarten and the mixture that i would be assigned to one of those schools. i do not think we are accomplishing anything as far as a neighborhood schools as far as i can tell. thank you. >> i am also a apparent at mckinley school. people kn

all the teachers at malcolm x worked hard collaboratively to plan lessons that were engaging for our students. we made sure they were culturally and socially relevant. so, for example, my kids weren't getting what summarizing meant. so i set up a glalry walk with teams from the "high school musical" movie, where they went around with clipboards, writing, and going around from scene to scene summarizing. that's how they are learned summarizing. so it was taking the curriculum that we were given and adapting it to what was relevant to our students. so we read books that was about their cultures and nationalities. we encouraged them to speak in their homes in their native language. i had students that were vietnamese, african, latino, so they embraceed that in the classroom and that made them feel important. and once they feel important, that keeps them engaged. and when they're engaged, they learn and that leads to student achievement. student achievement is ultimately our goal. and just speaking on student achievement a little bit more, we had to set high expectations in order to get
