Educating Esme
Sunday, April 06, 2003
Think back to fifth grade. Did you torture your teacher? I bet you did. This hour, Radio Lab travels back to fifth grade, this time through the eyes and ears of a teacher.
Educating Esme
During her first year teaching fifth grade at a Chicago Public school, Esme
Cordell kept a journal. That journal became "Educating Esme," a collections
of musings on the joys and frustrations of public school teaching, mixed with
music from Esme's own record collection.
Producer: Jay Allison with Christina Egloff
Production help from Ronny Hess, Steve Frankel, Mary Gaffney, and Johanna Zorn.
