Tonight on NBC at 8p one of the most inspirational shows ever to grace debuts and I think that everyone including politicians and parents should watch School Pride.
School Pride is like Extreme Makeover but for schools and it is sad how many schools need this show. Education is something that every child deserves and it is such a shame that they are learning in such poor conditions. Some of the schools that Tom Stroup; interior designer Susie Castillo (“House of Payne”); comedian and former substitute teacher Kym Whitley (“‘Til Death”); and journalist Jacob Soboroff (“AMC News”) visited had ceilings coming down, no supplies like the basics, one ball for the whole school and it had no air, rust, mold and so on. These are no conditions for any kid to spend their weekdays at and this touching NBC show goes in and cleans up a mess that seems to be ignored. Not because they want to but they just don’t have the money or power to make it better and that is extremely depressing. Having said that, School Pride is making a difference and they are doing so because the students and teachers are asking for it. Maybe if enough people see this, people will learn how to allocate the funds needed to rebuild our schools and make them habitable. If that happens, this show deserves sh!tload of awards and honors. I am not trying to be political, but education is one of the most important things you can give every kid and it is sad that they are doing so in such sh!tty conditions. So make a difference starting tonight at 8p and watch School Pride on NBC!
