Fifty/Fifty

A Chicago Public Radio program about the stories at Robeson High School. This school is one of two contained in Chicago's Sixth Ward. The clips aren't entirely complete however you should listen to this clip about a hardworking 14 year-old young lady, Sarah, and her struggles in rising about the culture of underacheiving amongst her peers. Fity/Fifty refers to the odds of a Robeson student or indeed a CPS student graduating from high school.

Oh and it should be noted although I'm very much behind the curve that CPS CEO Arne Duncan has been appointed the new Secretary of the federal Dept. of Education.
