Lessons from the Frontline
I had the privilege of getting a chance to hear Geoffrey Canada speak last week. Canada runs the Harlem Children's Zone. He broke it down in term that anyone can understand and it is well worth a listen.
For those of you who don’t - the bottom line is that helping children is expensive. Canada’s reaction to critics that say his comprehensive approach to helping children is just too expensive – “Would you stop parenting your kids for four years?”

There wasn't much in this short piece to make a judgement about what Ms. Montagnes was saying about the problem of raising children.
Where does he get his money from presently? Are there any foundations supporting Mr.Canada in Harlem? He has quite a resume, but how is that translated into what he is doing in Harlem. And just what exactly is a community based model for saving children?
From the blog she writes, I don't have a clue. If this model is such a powerful one, I would like to hear more about it. From this blog entry Ms.Montagnes has written a mystery.
