This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Dr. Eric Cooper is a firm believer in a phrase that many don't take very seriously anymore: "No child left behind." In this heart wrenching and invigorating talk, Dr. Cooper contends that every child is entitled to academic success, regardless of cultural, economic, and ethnic roots.

Dr. Eric Cooper - former associate professor at Columbia University - is a leading US educator and the founder president of the National Urban Alliance - a critically acclaimed education organisation.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
