Explaining the Charter School Battle Lines

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 7, 2014

Since the de Blasio administration's withdrawal of permission for 3 of 49 charter schools under review to co-locate with public schools, charges of playing politics with children's educations have flown on both sides of the debate. Beth Fertig, contributing editor for education at WNYC and Schoolbook.org, and Robert Lewis, WNYC investigative reporter, talk about this battle over education and the money behind some of the protests.

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
