   Keith MorrisPrincipal in Detroit Michigan has recognized that schools are now affected by the globalization of businesses. Schools need to start teaching students new skills – and abstract ones, at that. As it is, however, schools are under extremely tight budgets, which, more often than not, leads teachers to dip into their own meagre salaries to buy school supplies. As Keith Morris knows, we need to improve our standard of education. Students might not need to learn exactly the same things that they needed to learn decades ago, but the need for knowledge will always be with us. He believes that we need to enhance the standard of education at all levels of public school, from kindergarten right through the senior year of high school. 

   Based inMichigan, Keith Morris is determined to improve education in his area, and he hopes that he can, in so doing, have a positive effect on education throughout the United States. One of his favourite quotes is, “Education is the key to unlock the golden gates of freedom.” This is a very inspiring quote, but we need to give children the right education so that they can unlock these fabled gates. Keith Morris has increased the quality of the education provided to students from the fifth grade through the eighth grade, by establishing goals that work perfectly with CCSS/MDE standards. He has given the teachers the training that they so desperately need in order to attain excellence in teaching, and to maintain this excellent. He has also worked hard to research the common initiatives in academia, as well as researching current trends in education overall. He works to ensure special education compliance, collects data, manages and monitors extracurricular activities throughout the school, standardizes testing and assessment measurements, and facilitates the evaluations of faculty and staff on work performance.

  Allied to thisis the so-called, 'ZIP code' differential. Recent research has shown the enormous discrepancies existing in the quality of education in schools separated by only a few miles. And this is multiplied many-fold when comparing inner-city schools with their suburban counterparts. For example, in New York City it has been estimated that fewer than 10 percent of black men who successfully graduated from High School were intellectually prepared for further studies at a college or university. Likewise, Latin Americans. Compared with Asians (around 50 percent) and whites (40 percent), this indicates growing inequalities in the educational system and needs to urgently tackled. Keith Morris further examples Washington DC, where only 8 percent of 8th-grade black men are proficient in math, while approximately 80 percent of their white counterparts are fully proficient. “Additionally,” says Keith Morris, “Even in kindergarten it has been clearly demonstrated that black children lag by as much as 9 months behind their counterparts.
