How
One Teacher Makes ‘Impossible’ College Dreams Possible for Students |
by SASHA
JONES - Education Week | Pub: 08/02

As a teacher, Beau Baker has a lot to be proud of in the just-graduated class of seniors from Ivy Plus Academy
in Louisville, Ky. Of a class of 26 students, 23 will be attending private colleges or universities in the fall, and 19 of them will be at out-of-state schools; one chose the U.S. Marine Corps. And just two of those students will be paying more than $10,000
in tuition. Five students will only be paying for their books and fees.
