Where Did You Go to High School? | Odessa Javier | TEDxClayton HS Youth

St. Louisians ask others where their high school alma mater is to compare one's socioeconomic status. This talk explains the inequities in public school funding based on property values, how it affects students later on in their lives, and the solution to ensure public school funding is fair to the public. Odessa is so grateful for this opportunity. This speech has been her competitive Original Oratory for Speech & Debate. She has championed numerous tournaments with this speech, even earning the Missouri State Champion title this past year. Odessa wants to thank her family, coaches, and everyone who made this event possible. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
