About this listen

A student's essay reminds us that the walls may have ears, but even a simple pin can make a point...

A new school year has just begun, and the procession of bright, excited faces on their way to the schools and bus stops has us nostalgic for our days in the classroom. But education has changed quite a bit over the years. Take this example of an elementary lesson that we have in our collection, for instance. It was a quite popular exercise, with roots tracing back to the late 18th century.

We will then check in with the Needham Public Schools' Superintendent, Dr. Daniel Gutekanst, to discuss how education has changed over the years. Together we examine the role of the school system in students' lives, and look ahead to see what the town can look forward to in upcoming years.
