Ithaca DSA Presents: Education: Politics and Reform

Ithaca Democratic Socialists of America Presents #370:

"Education: Politics and Reform" Gerald Coles tells Judy Swann about
"Reading First", the reading program required by the No Child Left
Behind act. It is not based on evidence; it is not effective; and it
has become an excuse for neglecting the health and nutritional needs
of children that can make a real difference in their learning.
