Dr. Beth Hatt, Associate Professor of Education at University of Southern Indiana, joins host William Morris for Part 2 of a conversation on “The State of Education in Indiana”. Dr. Hatt addresses the challenges of recent school reform in Indiana, including the statewide emergence of charter schools and vouchers. She poses the question: “What is our goal in public education?” — and, then, Dr. Hatt identifies a central threat to the future of high-quality education in Indiana: the for-profit privatization of public schools. She also discusses how racial discrimination and poverty create inequities and inequalities in public schools.
