Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) was founded in 1897. But parents, teachers, and students are confronting drastically different challenges in today’s classrooms. We explore the evolution of parental involvement in local school systems, and how the nationwide leadership at PTA is positioning itself in education reform debates.
