Have Public Schools Had Their Chance?
Did you like this episode?
Brian challenges the common claim that public schools have "had their chance" and failed by putting today's debate into historical context. He explains that for most of human history, education was reserved for a privileged few, and truly universal public education in the United States is a relatively recent achievement. Rather than viewing public education as a failed experiment, Brian argues it should be recognized as an unfinished promise that remains essential to the future of our communities and our country.
