Episode notes
Next week, the Metro Nashville Public Schools Board of Education will be voting on four proposed new public charter schools. That includes The Gate School, a proposed charter middle school for west Nashville that would utilize an education model more commonly found in elite private schools known as the Harkness Method.
School founder Burrus Cox joins this week's On the Fly to talk about the Harkness Method and why he believes it's the right fit in West Nashville.
