PBS NewsHour Education Correspondent John Merrow, and Stanford Graduate School of Education Professor Prudence Carter joined forces to discuss the West Coast premiere of John’s latest film, REBIRTH: New Orleans, as a springboard for a broad range of issues at the May 3, 2013 Cubberley Lecture at the Graduate School of Education. The film, based on 6 1/2 years of filming in post-Katrina New Orleans, reveals how a failing school system is reinventing itself.

In the following clip, Carter engages Merrow on the tough questions facing New Orleans and any district headed down the charter school path.
