A plan to overhaul five failing schools in Oakland set off a firestorm at an Oakland School Board meeting this week. Parents, teachers and students lined up to comment on a call by the new schools superintendent for outside groups, including charter schools, to submit their ideas for redesigning schools with the lowest test scores. Critics, including the teachers union, say the district and Superintendent Antwan Wilson just aren't listening to what they need. Host Scott Shafer talks with reporter Zaidee Stavely, who attended Wednesday night's Oakland School Board meeting.
