An edited transcript which highlights some of Duncan's priorities and goals for education reform. It does not offer many specifics about how reform will look, but it does provide key answers on some complex topics: working with teachers' unions, incentivizing teacher pay, firing staff at dramatically failing schools.

Superficial discussion saying that they changed. Not really anything about what they're doing in a different manner.

Insightful interview with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan about his plan for overhauling our public education system. The interview covers how to turn around underperforming schools, to merit pay for teachers and where the education stimulus funds will be invested. Arne Duncan cites factual evidence and helpful context, and make reasonable points about this important topic.

Our local high school in a very wealthy part of California is a disaster. It's time to tackle education. Maybe this is the way or maybe not, but Arne Duncan needs to be heard, it seems. This is a good piece, and I'd like to see the PBS program, too. However, there isn't much in the way of challenging Duncan's stories here. Do we know they are true? Not sure, but it's still a good place to start.
