steve: sam, whatever would possess you, as a young man on vacation, hey, there is somebody running with what looks like a lady s purse or something, i m going to just cut him off at the pass? how many movies have you watched anyway? i watched enough movies. i don t know. i just reacted, i suppose. he was running at us, the three of us, and i kind of didn t i kind of shuffled my feet and blocked the sidewalks are real big in new york. i blocked the four or six feet path and then he took off. he really tried to stop and then it slowed down his speed. then he took off and the cashier got ahold of him. brian: but you decided to run after him, about 150 yards and there you are in the shot holding him down. he also tried to kick one of you in the shins. correct? yeah. the man, the clerk was the one
fast. so what will it take for the united states schools to make the grade? our next guest has a unique perspective. he s still a kid himself, in school. joining us is 17-year-old and author of one size does not fit all. good morning to you. thanks for having me. steve: the poster says the trouble with schools. what s the biggest thing we re doing wrong right now? right now we have this snow blow mentality in schools where we re not being affected by events in the outside world. we need to have school systems that focuses on kids doing projects and real world solutions, going out in the real world, working with people, mentors, apprenticeships and traveling. we need to have a system that makes sure that we re leveraging the creativity and the passion of students because the most important thing right now is that we need to put students that control their education. when they have the ability to shape it, they have the motivation to change it. steve: it s great that kids get a
