This week in the “HOT-Seat,” a special guest from Charlotte, NC, is helping parents during COVID with a few tips on why most schools, students, and teachers fail during a candid conversation about parenting black, brown, poor, and other kids living the inner-city urban experience in America.
As a creative Executive Director, The PIMOSH Network, and Social-Entrepreneur, she has found herself serving children & families directly on the front lines for years while working alongside administrators, local, county, and state officials, a collaborator, contractor, partner, sponsor, and/or vendor.
If you’re a working parent of young kids looking for answers around education, jump in line. The administration didn’t wait until the last minute, and it simply allowed deadlines to lapse.
“People Involved in Motivating Our Students Higher, the acronym for PIMOSH. Providing educational services has been ebbs & flows, peaks and valleys, and ups and downs. However, we are still here keeping relevant through the youth we serve. Involving folks in the decision-making process is a guarantee for success! “
Patrina Reddick, MSW
It’s only because PIMOSH implemented work-based learning opportunities as part of the implementation plan, countless teens got their first paid jobs, opening doors for more programs to do the same – Hire Teens! Ms. Patrina enjoys working mostly with high-achieving juniors, seniors, and undergraduate college students.
Helping school systems, state departments, and federal initiatives with educational mandates, especially those targeting black, brown, poor, and other students living the inner-city urban experience, is Ms. Patrina’s mission.
For example, in CT Raise, the federal government mandated the Grade Initiative that every child in foster care was on grade level or needed an academic plan. One phone call from Juvenile Justice and Ms. Patrina was working on the program before other departments had ever heard of the mandate.
Most after-school programs offer a tutorial program, or at least they should = After-School. Believe it or not, very few provide these services, and even less even know what an academic or educational intervention is.
This is a specialized service more than a tutorial or lame attempt at getting the unruly kids back on track. It’s more like an intervention for students (k-12) experiencing fight or flight. This student may be absent, always late or missing assignments, and never turning in homework – This Student is Failing!
Working over 20-years on the front-lines with children and families from all walks of life. PIMOSH, the service, has been tried, true and consistent in academics through arts, education, expression, and technology. She’s in the “HOT-Seat” tonight, providing help for parents during COVID.
Patrina Reddick, MSW is the Co-Founder & Executive Director of The PIMOSH Network, Creator of Crunch Bunch Kids & Urban Academics, Writer of “No Slack Barack: How President Obama Saved My Life (Due out Fall of 2020)” takes the “HOT-Seat” with Help for Parents During COVID, and why some schools, students and teachers fail?
3 Reasons Why Schools, Students, and Teachers Fail
- Environment
- Whether You Get Chosen
- Be Ready
On tonight’s call, Ms. Patrina will answer these questions and more at the Urban Academics Roundtable, Thursdays at 9:30 PM. Pull up a seat and join folks from all over enjoying intellectual talk around educating black, brown, and poor kids living the inner-city urban experience.
Today, Ms. Reddick dreams of partnering with existing programs from everywhere, providing Tutorial & Mentoring Services. You could be up and running in as little as 30-days. Furthermore, training supervisors and youth workers of existing programs and services are nothing more than a full circle.
She was part of the first published team through the Readers Digest Fund for Best Practices for Youth Development at YALE University School of Medicine, The Consultation Center, (1997-99). Kaye Harvey, Co-Moderator at the Urban Academics Roundtable, was also published on the same team.
Folks call Ms. Reddick when they need something done the first time correctly – She gets the job done. If you know your outcome, she will facilitate you there, beginning to end. However, during COVID-19, there is no time to re-invent wheels. Parents need help now!
“What if parents had no idea what was even happening with their child’s school? Most inner-city folks can’t find an apartment in months (with section 8), let alone over-haul the entire school system. Who is ultimately responsible for educating our children? Parents everywhere need help during COVID, and $1,200 should not stimulate anyone.”
