When the rest of the globe is
busy in planning strategies for dropout recovery, here’s someone different.
Bill Leggett is a teacher-principal-school board member for the last 17
years.
Being a school dropout didn’t
deter him from reaching his goal of reforming the educational system of Pasco.
Journey was not an easy for Leggett and everything, including the status and
reputation, hadn’t been achieved in a single day effort. It took 30 years of
hardship and turmoil to achieve today’s recognition.
His devotion and dedication
towards the upliftment of the Pasco schools has become a milestone in the
educational system of the lesser known places of the world. When some parts of
the world are busy in upgrading their learning system and recovering the school
and college dropouts, here’s someone who despite being dropped out from school
worked sincerely as a mentor for others.
Further he says he has done what
he wanted to do. Long live this great soul! Thank You Bill Leggett.
There are a number of self help
organizations with the same vision as Bill Leggett. Graduation Alliance is a
network of people (mainly mentors, teachers and tutors) serving the dropouts
and helping them to recover.
