S4E6 – What is the purpose of public education in the USA?



S4E6 – What is the purpose of public education in the USA?

What do we want from public schools, and how does that answer vary depending on whom, in our very divided nation, you ask? In this episode, I use a recent Atlantic article by George Packer, “The Four Americas,” as a frame for looking at how each of those four Americas might envision both the purpose and the future of public education in the USA.
