IAP 97: POWER HOUR: "Who Cares About Education… You Can't Eat a Book!" An Italian American Take on Education Reform

In this week's episode, Pat and John sit down with Jeanne Abate Allen, the Founder and CEO of the Center for Education Reform.  Considered one of the nation's most accomplished and relentless advocates for education reform, and a recognized expert, speaker and author in the field, she is also an incredibly proud and active Italian American. While the conversation eventually turns to the challenges surrounding education, and the Italian American values at the root of her work, this wouldn't be the Italian American Power Hour if the show didn't start with a heated debate on the right types of flavorings required to make the perfect pastiera, and why cheese on seafood is not really a mortal sin!  It's an episode that goes from pastry to profound and everywhere in between... and one that you won't want to miss!
