What is the purpose of public education? What is its role in our society? We'll consider these questions in the first session of the series, then use them to frame our subsequent discussions of current debates in public education. Topics for the final 3 sessions will be based on the participants' interests, but could include such issues as the voucher debate, charter schools, Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, state exams, or parental involvement, etc. Anyone who is considering teaching or has children in the public schools may find the sessions informative. Readings provided before each session for subsequent discussions. Participants are encouraged to attend all sessions; attendance at individual sessions is possible if space is available.
