Research Fellow Vicki Alger, author of Failure: The Misedukation of America’s Children, appears on KFMB’s Brett Winterble Radio Show to discuss education in America. The discussion centers around performance of America’s schools and the proper role of the federal government in education. Alger discusses parental choice programs in inner cities and other programs that are working, without the long arm of the federal government. She compares the education systems in other countries that are successful and how the US might learn from their success.
