Listen "#25 Big Philanthropy, Small Change: Inside the Gates Foundation's Small Schools Experiment"
Episode Synopsis
Bill Gates spent a fortune to remake high schools across the country into small learning communities. Michael Hobbes' Seattle alma mater was one of these, and he takes us deep into the story of his school. As Hobbes recounts, what happened at Hale High, and Gates' efforts to supersize the small schools experiment, is also a story of what education reform gets wrong - and why reformers make the same mistakes again and again.
