What does a teacher need to do in order to better reach their students? As educators across the country continue to scramble to answer this question and improve the learning experience of schoolchildren, one Florida-based literacy company has offered a suggestion: Look to Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj.

In their first annual Teacher of the Year Awards, The Better Education Place honored Weezy and the self-professed female counterpart for their capacity as teachers. The source of this honor lies in their swagger.

Yes,swagger. That unfortunate word that just wont seem to leave despite my constant requests to God for a synonym. On the importance of swagger in educating the youth,sMelvin El, explained: Apparently students are drawn in by the swagger. If you are a teacher today and you dont have any swagger you are going to struggle to get your students attention. It turns out a teacher can learn a lot from Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj.

As much as I adoreNicki Minaj, Im not sure I want 45-year-old geometry teacher Mrs. Newsome dressing up likeJemfrom the block a la Nicklil waynei for the sake of polygons appear more playful.

And while shes constantly pushing the importance of education to her Barbz and Ken Dolls (thats what she addresses her female and male ns, outsiders), I seriously doubt Nicki Minaj would be thrilled with the idea of being ncied as anything but an entertainer at present moment.

The mission of Els organization is to boost literacy through new types of learning experiences that can incorporate music, film, games, and theater.believes that hip-hop has a unique ability to inspire children and make education fun; hence the shout out to Young Moneys finest and their own line of rap-themed educational products found on thegroups website.
