• liberatory education
• accountability
• "you can't have love without holding people accountable"
• teaching in NYC is a radical act
  • it requires holding yourself accountable as an educator
  • how students deserve accountability in a system that was not built for them
  • being accountable to a system that has failed them in the past
• teach for america...wasn't fully equipped...what equipped her was her own identity and experience...but still felt ill prepared
• why with someone with such limited experience placed in such a high-need school
  • first gen, low income, english new language
• students need to be in schools where they are able to reach their full potential
