Like the rest of us, Garret Keizer heard plenty about the problems of American public schools.
His interest may have been a bit more acute, given his background as a teacher.
In his book Getting Schooled: The Reeducation of an American Teacher, Keizer tells the story of going back to the Vermont high school where he once taught, to see for himself the changes in that school and education in general.
What he found is eye-opening, and he shares the story with us.
