My job is working with public school teachers here in New York City. I'm managing 95 educators as they attempt (with varied success) to implement service-learning lessons and service projects into their classrooms. This, alas, is more challenging to pull off than it may sound like. Happily, I don't want to talk about my job. Instead, I want to talk about public education. Because despite everything, I really do think that public education can work. Sorry, let me rephrase that. I think that we have an obligation to make certain that public education works.
