Get a good education, get a good job. That's the promise. But it no longer works that way. Two students in Massachusetts, one in Gardner, one in Weston, show how the growing income gap is affecting the nation's school systems.
Beth Dichter's insight:

What happens as the gap between the rich and the middle class affects public schools? This investigative report looks at two students inMassachusetts(considered the #1 public school system in the country according to this report) and raises the question: Do students across the state have access to the same opportunities? Listen to two students discuss their experience as well as a number of experts discuss where education is going in Massachusetts and why this may be a harbinger of what is to come at public schools across the country.
