1:03:12Now PlayingRussakoff’s first book, portions of which appeared in The New Yorker, tells the complicated story of efforts to reform Newark’s schools. A long-time Washington Post reporter, Russakoff has covered politics, economics, and education, all of which come into play in this account of the alliance formed by Newark mayor Cory Booker with New Jersey governor Chris Christie and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg—and a commitment of $100 million. But clashes among reformers, teachers, parents, and administrators meant little help for students, and Russakoff’s profiles of individual schools vividly show what was really at stake.
