A National Disgrace Revisited
Description
Journalist Dan Rather uncovers the poor state of Detroit Public Schools in Michigan. Investigating the mismanagement, deficit, and high turnover rates of superintendents via interviews with the school board, former superintendent Dr. Connie Calloway, and Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb, Rather discovers the situation is bleak in Detroit for the city's children. Over the course of eighteen months, Rather finds the failure of DPS to be a top-down educational system failure, with the student board's denial and dishonesty facilitating the decline. From savage battles between board members and employees to outraged community members to frustrated students, the entire public school system in Detroit is in crisis.
