Description
It started in 1983 with a special report called, "A Nation at Risk," a scathing criticism of the rising tide of mediocrity in America's schools. This set off a rising tide of books and reports full of more bad news. Our children, they said, are learning too little history, geography, and math, and too much about violence, drugs, racism, and decay. Yet in this program with Bill Moyers, Sara Lightfoot explores what's good about our schools. Professor Lightfoot, of Harvard's Graduate School of Education, sees as much promise as problems in our schools today. She describes what makes certain schools good and some teachers memorable.
