On today’s edition of "Closer Look with Rose Scott," we continue our weeklong series, “FAILING GRADE: Analysis of America's Public Education Crisis.” The series explores the current state of public education in Georgia and across the nation, from pre-K to higher-ed. For day two of the series, we continue with PART 2 our visit to Black MicroSchools ATL. Rose speaks with the co-founder April Jackson about the school which predominantly serves African American children and uses a curriculum that celebrates Black culture and contributions. Jackson explains why she values non-traditional education and gives insight into the sustainability of her school. Also, a professor breaks down a study that explores how young Black male students are disciplined as opposed to their white counterparts.

Guests include:

April M. Jackson, the co-founder of Black Microschools ATL

Calvin Zimmermann, an assistant professor of education in Notre Dame's Sociology Department
