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 three of the series, we continue with PART 3 of our conversation from Pass Pod school, which is part of the collective Black MicroSchools ATL. Supervising producer Tiffany Griffith speaks with a parent about the decision to withdraw her children from public school. Also, Rose talks with a student about the experience of attending Pass Pod school. A rural public schools superintendent then explains the unique challenges associated with his district. Lastly, educators at The Cottage School explain how they are providing a unique learning environment for special needs students that is not offered in public schools.

Guests include:

Amber, parent of two children who attend Pass Pod

I’Nique, 13, a student at Pass Pod

Allen Fort, superintendent of the Taliaferro County School District

Dr. Steven Palmer, Head of School at The Cottage School

Renee’ Kincaid, Elementary School teacher at The Cottage School
