COMING IN OCTOBER
Stanford Roundtable 2011:Redefining K-12 Education In America, Before It Redefines Us
America's schools are in trouble. Twenty five percent of students drop out of high school, and those that do graduate often are ill prepared for either college or a 21st century job.
 The potential solutions are polarizing, yet all agree it's a problem we must address. Join master interviewer and PBS host Charlie Rose and a panel of luminaries to tackle the question of how to improve our troubled school system and provide a better future for our nation's greatest resource, our kids.
