A great education 'should not only be for students who are super rich,' asserts Graham Browne, executive director and founder of Forte Preparatory Academy, a tuition-free, public school alternative for fifth to eighth grade students.
The president demanded governors allow churches, synagogues and mosques to hold in-person services and threatened to override state leaders if they didn't.A great education"should not only be for students who are super rich," asserts Graham Browne, executive director and founder of Forte Preparatory Academy, a tuition-free, public school alternative for fifth to eighth grade students.
Despite the ravaging pandemic, the school is determined not to let the virus impact the education of its students. "It was a real eye-opener," Browne told ABC News."This school was so focused on making sure that everybody was succeeding." Its 270 students are mostly from low-income and minority families and many of them are first-generation Americans. As a group,"they're incredible, thoughtful, and just great," Brown explained.
There were numerous challenges to shifting to remote learning, the first ensuring all students were connected to the internet and able to work from home. The school loaned two-thirds of its computers to students. Families without internet, were shown how to access Wi-Fi for free. "Our team has been creative and innovative, bringing their classes to life and finding new opportunities in the challenge, rather than being beat down by it. It has been an all hands-on deck process," said Browne.
Erika Espinoza's 13-year-old daughter, Hailey Munoz, was in the first class of students at Forte Prep Academy.
