The nation’s attention continues to be tugged toward matters of public education, thanks in part to the documentary Waiting for Superman and the appearance of a number of educators on Oprah this week.
Monday, President Barack Obama will follow suit, sitting down with NBC’s Matt Lauer for a half-hour interview exclusively on education issues.
The decision of the president to grant an interview on a single issue is an unusual one, and shows that he is eager to discuss his education policy and to continue considering how policymakers and others might work together to improve education for all students.
Will a 30-minute TV interview transform public education in America? No.
But we believe it’s still a potentially important step in the process.
What do you hope that Matt Lauer asks the President? What do you hope to hear the President say?
