What’s trending in the US and across the world is the US presidential election. The art of politics has always been a reality show pointing to truths about how it (the United States of America) was established and determined to control its people and runs its government and military.
Regardless of your fundamental core beliefs or knowledge about politics locally or across the world, everyone knows about the debate and the countdown to the upcoming presidential election. This week at the RoundTable, it’s going to be good.

This week we are pulling out the “HOT-Seat” for Mr. Pierre M Reddick, whose hometown is New Haven. CT, but he only went to school there for one year – His freshman year of high school. Before that, it was a small private day school in Branford, CT, where he and his sister were no doubt the minority, but fitting in nicely.
The long ride out to Branford every day seemed daunting for many people back in New Haven, and even fewer could understand why anyone would pay for school when it’s free, and you’re not rich?
For Pierre, it was the normal course of activity, and his creativity, love of life, the outdoors, and his ability to see the world through a broader lense is because he has never felt trapped – Not in the ways of education. After leaving New Haven Public Schools, he matriculated and graduated from Fort Mill, High School, graduated from Claflin University, attended Point Part University
Pierre Reddick is Co-Founder (PIMOSH Network), and Music Director for Crunch Bunch Kids. Pierre has also been quite successful in merging roles of educator and entrepreneur. The Urban Academics “HOT-Seat” because he can deliver hacks, tips, and tricks for inner-city urban students that will help parents, providers, and teachers tremendously.
“Being a teacher does not mean we want to replace parents. We would much rather partner with parents, but at the same time I’ve played the role of father to almost 400 scholars at any given moment.”
Pierre M Reddick
Notable Accomplishments
Pierre has been involved in the education field for five (5) years, and has served families in several capacities, including but not limited to the following:
Co-Founder & Creative Director at People Involved in Motivating Our Students Higher (PIMOSH)
Composition Facilitator
Crunch Bunch Music Producer

Parents are already exhausted, and while many welcome the sound of back to school, just so they can get a break from the summer has come to an abrupt end for most parents around the country. However, parent’s reality is that they are new teachers whether they are ready or not!
Step right up, no training necessary – All parents are now school teachers, but without the salary, experience, nor a say in the matter. Here’s a parent and a professional who says …

So mindset shifts are something that remains as he continues to foster positive outcomes using real-world examples that are both clear and understandable.
Eventually, facilitation and teaching became a passion, and while at Post University and, he learned the art of how to researching for purpose, creating modules around existing needs he could and has designed, and develop award-winning training materials.
