"Everything You've Heard About Failing Schools Is Wrong" reads the provocative headline of a recent article in Mother Jones Magazine. Thus concludes the author who spent a year observing students and teachers at Mission High in San Francisco. We'll meet the author and two school staff members to talk about how school performance is -- and how it should be -- measured.

Host: Penny Nelson

Guests:

  • Kristina Rizga, education reporter for Mother Jones Magazine and author of "Everything You've Heard About Failing Schools Is Wrong"
  • Eric Guthertz, principal of Mission High School
  • Pirette McKamey, instructional reform facilitator and English teacher at Mission High School
