Dr. Cantor concluded her presentation on an optimistic note:

“The message in the science is so optimistic. Genes are chemical followers. This is the biologic truth. Context shapes the expression of our energetic potential. Schools designed — as Benjamin Bloom said, using the levers of human development — such that what one child can do, all children can do under highly-favorable conditions — this is what Turnaround’s mission is dedicated to: a school designed to SEE and UNLEASH potential and ensure that each and every child thrives.”
