What to Watch in July
TV may be bad for kids. But it doesn’t have to be so for parents.
Here are a couple of things to check out in July:
On July 1, Charlie Rose will be spend an hour discussing education with Bob Wise, President of Alliance for Excellent Education, and Wendy Kopp, founder and President of Teach for America.
Throughout the month, HBO will be playing their new documentary Hard Times at Douglass High: A No Child Left Behind Report Card, a study of one year at a Baltimore high school. The film documents the daily struggles and victories of the students and their teachers, with the backdrop of NCLB and the consequences on the school of these and other policies. After watching the film, check out this post on Eduwonk’s blog for another perspective on the school and NCLB.
