Morning Joe live from Tampa

March 25: ‘Great Expectations’ broadcast and town hall event focuses on education. Guests include Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz,  Former Gov. Jeb Bush & musician John Legend

 My commentary

Good Morning, Its Thursday and I caught the Morning Joe and the Great Expectations on Education forum that they held in Tampa Fla. I am hoping that I will be able to find some video on it to put in my blog.  What I did catch was that it takes a bottom up philosophy starting with the parents, community involvement, a coalition of after school volunteers and the teachers and school district getting involved to get the kids to know they are the ones who control their destiny, that they can do it and have the education they so deserve...

I found videos about the Education forum this morning take a look and listen, I do not know if I have them in order.  But what they discussed is very important to our national education and our children and their futures....They are below the story



NEW YORK - March 23, 2010 - MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” will broadcast live from Tampa, Florida on Thursday, March 25 with a special broadcast and town hall event focused on education in America. The “Great Expectations” broadcast will bring together the leaders who are at the helm of education reform in America. The program will also feature a one-hour town hall discussion with special guests and members of the Florida education community.
“Morning Joe” co-anchors Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski will be joined by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz,  Former Governor Jeb Bush, Grammy-Award winner John Legend, Rev. Al Sharpton, and Mayor Cory Booker among others. The guests will discuss what works and what doesn’t when it comes to education, including success stories of educational entrepreneurs and schools that have exceeded expectations.
The broadcast will originate from Alexander Elementary in Tampa, a school that is proof that when a state, a school district and teachers commit to teaching, they can exceed expectations and show success in student performance. The broadcast is not open to the public.
