Education II

Otto Scott and I are discussing education and related matters with Samuel Blumenfeld. I would like to start off by continuing on a vein that we were discussing at the end of the previous tape. About 10 years ago there were two or three lawyers in the country who were very much interested in finding parents whose children were functional illiterates. Their idea was it is time to challenge the public school system by having a series of malpractice trials from coast to coast, parents charging the teachers and the school and any responsible agency including the states for their children’s illiteracy.  EC226
