In our very first episode of Public Good, Shannon and Stephen are joined by education historian, Dr. Jack Schneider. Jack is co-author of Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door: The Dismantling of Public Education and the Future of School. He and his co-author, Jennifer Berkshire, are the creators and hosts of the extremely popular education podcast, Have You Heard. In this episode, we explore the idea of public education as a public good, some of the acts of "dismantling" occurring in the US and the importance of public scholarship in the fight for a strong vision of public education.
