Poverty doesn’t have to limit a child’s education—and Eva Moskowitz built Success Academy to prove it. Ravi sits down with the charter school network’s founder to explore how her students outperform some of New York’s wealthiest districts—and what other schools can learn from her model. They discuss high expectations, intensive teacher training, and why she believes more funding alone won’t fix a broken system. Ravi also presses Moskowitz on criticism of her schools and what it would take to give every child an excellent education.
