because they don t get it, isn t that possible that there are some kids that are going to be stronger in other areas than math? and they need to focus on that? well, they re stronger because they work. if you re overweight you can say, well, i m overweight, i was born overweight, but you can work on being overweight. if a child comes into our school is overweight, we assign them a tutor because he s overweight. if someone comes in and has trouble with math, oh, you re sleth brain that s an excuse. you need more help. that s what any kid who is low in math, all you have to do is give them a tutor, work with them, give them more help. all right. well, ben, former principal of the american indian charter school there, and author of the book crazy like a fox. thank you for joining us. thank you. that does it for me. do stay with us, up next nbc s brian williams will be joined by hundreds of teachers from around the country for a town hall
