Kathleen interviews...
Dr. Steve Perry is the founder
and principal of Capital Preparatory Magnet School, a low-income high
school with a 100 per cent college success rate. Known for his bold,
no-excuses approach to education, Dr. Perry has written several books
including, "Man Up! Nobody is Coming to Save Us" and "Raggedy Schools."
In this inspiring interview, Dr.
Perry reveals the secrets of his school's success, from its small size
and core mission (social justice and college prep) to the "triple
threat" requirements for teachers (teach, coach, advise). Lamenting
today's system of "educational malpractice," Dr. Perry speaks his mind
on everything from vouchers (a must) to the teacher's union (a bust).
This passionate voice from the educational trenches is a real wakeup
call to fix our public schools. Listen to the interview
