A Washington Post Discussion about Education
Education in America - The Washington Post - https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/postlive/education-in-america/2018/11/28/b782df54-000a-4dcc-beba-23a0f50bf6b3_live.html?utm_term=.a4468ba4aea9
I will be in Washington, D.C., on Thursday for a “discussion” about education. I put the scare quotes around discussion because the schedule is jam-packed, and there won’t be enough time for any in-depth discussion of anything. But hope springs eternal.
A few things on the program of interest.
What will Rahm Emanuel say about Chicago? Will he boast about the historic day in 2013 when he closed 50 public schools in a single day, displacing thousands of African-American children?
What will Arne Duncan tell us about how federal policy can reform the schools, after seven years of trying?
I understand this two-hour event will be live-streamed and available online.
