Towards real reform in education

 There is much to criticize in the Bush administration's education program "No Child Left Behind," a program what has been continued under Obama and Secretary of Education  Arne Duncan.   But what would a truly progressive  education policy be like? What would be the goals and values of a school system that met the needs of students and their communties?  Stan Karp talks on these matters with the Old Mole's Bill Resnick.  Karp writes frequently for Rethinking Schools as their expert on federal education policy.   Part One of this interview -- an examination of what's  wrong with current policies -- can be found by clicking here.  Karp has also appeared Fairness and Accuracy in Media
