The Common Core has been a big part of this year’s campaign for governor -- and a rallying cry for teachers, parents and students. But new documentary looks at what’s really in the common core that might provide some common ground between many sides on the education reform debate.
We talk with Emily Hanford -- a producer of the public radio documentary "Greater Expectations: The Challenge of the Common Core".
And later, WNPR's Lori Mack gives us a story of a musical career that’s been revived after decades. A story about an unlikely fan base, some high school students...and even a Dave Brubeck connection.
