Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Across the country, schools are experimenting with changed schedules, adding more hours & days to the school calendar, in order to give students additional time to learn. But critics say more hours can’t overcome the problems caused by flawed curricula and/or disengaged parents. We hear from local school officials & others about the positive results and the drawbacks of adding time to the school schedule.
