Here is the newest in a podcast series called “Have You Heard,” this one about why it is a myth that college is the “great equalizer” between poor and more affluent students. The series is the work of Jennifer Berkshire and Aaron French. Berkshire is a freelance journalist and public education advocate who writes the lively EduShyster blog, where she discusses the serious consequences of corporate school reform. French is the creator of “Education on Tap,” a podcast produced by Teach For America. Berkshire said they launched the series to broaden the debate about public education by introducing new voices and by showing that the issues — and solutions — are “more complicated and, frankly, more interesting than the talking points and shouting matches let on.”
