He shows how educational board games can be a fun and effective way to improve access to learning and help kids thrive in and out of school.

      A whole “Thato”??? I bet your accent is nowhere near “native-sounding”! 🙄

    Good video. Don’t acknowledge the ignorance from the people commenting on his accent. If you work in Education it’s a more than worthwhile watch.

    Incredible work! When he said , “to help distract children from their hunger by focusing on education, ” that hurt my heart. They still have a shortage of food, while here in America, we have obesity in children and young adults at a record high ever in history.

    And for those asking what he said,🙄there are more important questions to ask yourself. How many languages do you speak? How are you being of service to others , to the world? AND how to turn on closed captioning on YouTube. 🥴😏

    cool idea to the rural places, well, maybe even crowded places like refugee camps, etc….where there are shortage of facilities for children to learn. maybe he should modify the name though..looks a bit tough…and should loose the brightest stars idea though.

    Great work helping out the neighborhood, be blessed.

    Amazing Video. I’ve been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it’s the best time to get started on the market. i was at a seminar and the host spoke about making over $972,000 within 3 Months with a capital of $200,000. i need to know how to go about it

      Huh? Are you talking about investing for children or yourself?

How much should we invest in teachers, and what should new investment actually involve? Education innovator Randy Seriguchi Jr. suggests the US should create a “G.I. Bill” for teachers, with a particular emphasis on uplifting Black male professionals. He shares a model of this idea in action through community partnerships in San Francisco, which provide aspiring teachers with graduate school tuition, subsidized housing, personalized fit assessments and more. “If we truly want to elevate this profession to inspire new, diverse talent to join us, we have to improve both the personal and professional experiences associated with teaching,” says Seriguchi.
