Reporter Paul Tough has a new book out about education. How Children Succeed builds on the work he’s done for the New York Times Magazine and an earlier book about Geoffrey Canada’s Harlem Children’s Zone. He was a guest on the Afternoon Shift with Steve Edwards in September, and I was invited on to discuss my reporting at Chicago Jesuit Academy. Take a listen to my conversation with Steve, and hear Paul’s portion of the conversation here.
