Note from me:  I was deeply challenged throughout this interview, as a parent of three, to look at how much trust and faith I am putting into the school and staff to provide education to each of my children.  Well after the interview ended I was still allowing what she shares to sink in.  I will be interviewing her again once her book comes out, going deeper into how school can work better, and bring the family and community back into education decision making.
