Subject: Dropouts: a video podcast
Friends,
"Dropout Nation" was Time Magazine's fear-inducing cover story on
April 17th, a report produced in conjunction with Oprah, who
devoted two programs to the subject. But neither the magazine nor
the television program reported on how EDUCATORS actually make the
problem worse by 'cooking the books.'
You can see how Florida was making its dropouts 'disappear' on
this week's video podcast, which was nominated for an Emmy for
investigative reporting. We didn't win (Dan Rather got the Emmy),
but when I sat next to Florida Governor Jeb Bush at a luncheon not
long after the NewsHour broadcast, he said, "You sure caused some
trouble for us."

the dropout story.
