Reprogramming what’s possible for equal opportunity in schools | Fletcher Jones | TEDxGrandPark

Fletcher Jones delivers a powerful and insightful talk about education reform and equal opportunities. He shares a poem that he wrote with the goal to put an end to prejudices for people from all backgrounds.

Fletcher vulnerably recalls many experiences throughout his journey in the education system. He reveals how assumptions, both from the teacher and the student, can shape the perception of what's possible for the future.

Fletcher has committed to taking a stand to ensure all children have equal opportunities to become what they want to be. He hopes his talk inspires others who look or feel like him to say "I can do it, too".
