We talk with Paul Tough about his ter­rif­ic new book, THE YEARS THAT MAT­TER MOST: How Col­lege Makes Or Breaks Us. It asks the ques­tion: Is the Amer­i­can sys­tem of high­er edu­ca­tion fair? Or is it designed to pro­tect the priv­i­leged and leave every­one else behind?

Then we re-air my 2015 inter­view with Kristi­na Riz­ga about her book MIS­SION HIGH: One School, How Experts Tried to Fail It, and the Stu­dents and Teach­ers Who Made It Tri­umph. Its about a high school in San Fran­cis­co with an impres­sive track record on edu­cat­ing poor, minor­i­ty and immi­grant youth.
