As Reynoldsburg teachers fight continue to battle with the school board over changes to benefits and pay, we'll take a close look at how teaching in the U.S. became so controversial. We'll get an update on local tensions, and examine how we got from genteel 19th century common schools to one-room frontier schools to the Teach for America program and beyond.

Guests:

Charlie Boss, education reporter for the Columbus Dispatch
Dana Goldstein, author of The Teacher Wars: A History of America's Most Embattled Profession
