Note: This is part of our series, “Kindred Spirits,” which contains four volumes of 12 half-hour segments.
The role of public schools in teaching basic values like compassion and tolerance is considered by a colorful roundtable of mothers whose children attend the school.
We visit a Sykesville, Maryland high school with a broad commitment to non-sectarian “character education” that aims to produce morally responsible citizens.
In this episode we visit William J Ostiguy High School. It is a learning facility designed to help kids with a history of substance abuse—who support each other in their quest to remain clean and sober.
Barbara Cervone, a lifelong educator who started a network of small schools and later became a grantmaker involved in investing hundreds of millions of dollars in public schools, undertook a new venture in 2001. She founded What Kids Can Do as a national effort to amplify the voices of young people.
High school and college-aged winners of the Laws of Life essay contest tell personal stories about tolerance, optimism, family and other values they feel are essential to leading a life of meaning and integrity.
Conversation and readings by the inspirational poet.
