NWP Radio—Why School? A Conversation with Mike Rose
Date: March 15, 2010
Summary: With so many policy prescriptions pointing to alternatives to the model of public education, it is a good time to ask the question: Why School? Scholar and author Mike Rose responds to this and other questions at the heart of his new book in two episodes of NWP Radio.
Excerpt from Show
The way we talk about school matters. If the national discussion is one that is despairing and dismissive and says things like, 'Maybe public schools were once a noble experiment, but now they're a failure,' or as one writer in the Weekly Standard put it, 'Let's face it, we all know that American public schools are a joke' . . . then you're not even left with a problem to solve, you're not even left with a door to open to make it better.
