Product Manager, Technology Solutions with KIPP Foundation ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW: KIPP is redefining the notion of what is possible in public education through a partnership among parents, students, and teachers that puts learning first. A national network of free, open-enrollment, college-preparatory public schools with a track record of preparing students in underserved communities for success in college and in life, KIPP provides outstanding educators, more time in school learning, and a strong culture of achievement to help all of our students climb the mountain to college. There are currently 66 KIPP schools operating in 19 states and the District of Columbia and serving over 16,000 students. Through a strategic regional growth plan, KIPP plans to expand our network to 100 schools serving 25,000+ students by 2011—impacting the educational outcomes of more students in more underserved communities throughout the country. Every day, KIPP students across the nation are proving that demography does not define destiny. To date, 80 percent of our students have come from low-income backgrounds and more than 90 percent are African American or Latino. Nationally, more than 80 percent of alumni from the original KIPP Academies have gone on to college. In 2007, 95 percent of our alumni matriculated to college-preparatory high schools—and have earned more than $25 million in scholarships and financial aid since 2000. As we continue to achieve results in our growing network of schools, the KIPP Foundation is committed to sharing all that we learn in an effort to inspire other communities to consider the approach that has made KIPP schools successful.

I totally agree that a revolution is needed in China before it will be a partner that we can completely trust and consider a true friend. It is very unfortunate that the Chinese have decided to stall UN action against the Burmese junta. However, I believe the Indian government is more to blame for the current crisis, as they are the primary supplier of military equipment and supplies to the authoritarian government. The Communist Party has their 5-yearly party congress in a couple weeks, and from what I have read there is going to be a lot of talk about democracy during the internal discussion over who will be the next generation of Chinese leaders. Hopefully there will emerge a Chinese Gorbachev from this conference, though I am not holding our hope. What are your thoughts on the Party Congress and the near-future of Chinese politics?
