Better Late Than Never

On March 10, I had the pleasure of engaging in a conversation about education on Steve Spellman’s News at Five radio show on Columbia’s KOPN 89.5. In addition to Steve, I was joined by Sarah Read, the president of Columbia Parents for Public Schools. Our host impressed upon us that he wanted to have a civil conversation (not a debate) about the purpose, history, and outlook of public education, and I believe that Sarah and I rose to the occasion. The station’s website just made the recording of our conversation available online, so here’s a link for anyone interested in hearing how it went!
