Dave Eggers: My wish: Once Upon a School

The speaker discusses the creation and growth of 826 Valencia, a unique educational initiative combining a tutoring center with a pirate supply store. Initially facing challenges, the center eventually thrived by offering one-on-one attention to students, many of whom came from non-English-speaking homes. The model expanded to other locations, each with its own theme, and inspired community involvement. The speaker concludes with a TED Wish, urging creative individuals to engage with public schools and share their stories to inspire others.
