School Report Card

Daniel Zwerdling talks to education researcher Gerald Bracey about the state of American education. Bracey feels, contrary to public opinion, that the education system is in fact doing very well. He says that the school system includes a more diverse group of students than it did 50 years ago and education standards compare very favourably with the rest of the industrialized world.
