Welcome to "The Porch with Dr. Hope O'Neil," where we explore the multifaceted world of K-12 education in America's urban public schools. Join us as we uncover the successes and challenges within these communities, questioning whether we are paying "caviar prices for failure," as former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie suggests. From the effectiveness of the No Child Left Behind Act to the Every Student Succeeds Act, we examine the policies and practices that shape our education system.
