July 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Atlanta, July 12, 2011:  In the aftermath of a scandal that has shaken the entire Atlanta Public School, system has anyone asked the question what can we do to help our youth and the teachers that educate them?  Hotep of reachthemtoteachthem.com has the answer…invest in properly training our teachers to effectively ENGAGE today’s youth!  His unique approach “education through inspiration” does just that.  

Pressure is being felt throughout Georgia and our schools, teachers and youth will soon start a new school year.  When we think about the state of the economy and the number of unemployed/ underemployed citizens, we find it hard to answer today’s youth when they ask, “Why should I go to school?”  We all know that the traditional answers don’t apply anymore. As a result, the high school graduation rate in our country has dropped to nearly 50% because the children are turned off.  Hotep’s collection of books including his newest release, Bored of Education, provides practical “real talk” solutions for school systems and their teachers to improve test scores, discipline and participation simply by focusing on student engagement.

“The problem is that public schools attention is too heavily placed on standards and textbooks.  You can provide all of the fancy teaching materials you want, but they will always be ineffective if children won’t allow teachers to instruct them.  The bottom line is teachers must first REACH them in order to TEACH them,” says Hotep.  The author is a Congressional award-winning educator that has taught for 15 years in DeKalb County’s Title 1 schools.  90% of his 5th grade students consistently pass their standardized tests.  Hotep insures that ANY educator can master this technique to reach ALL children from every background.
