First hour: Exploring Montessori education
Second hour: Clinton, Cuomo, and freedom of information
In our first hour, one of the leading advocates for Montessori-based education, Dr. Steve Hughes, is coming to Rochester this month for a public event. This hour, we talk to Dr. Hughes about why he chose Montessori for his kids, and what the research says about this approach. Then, in studio, we'll talk to:
Tracia Anne, a parent from Greece Montessori
Ben Tucker, a parent from Webster Montessori
Angela Caprarotta, Director of Admissions from the Montessori School of Rochester
In our second hour, Hillary Clinton used her personal email while SoS, and it's not clear that we'll ever know if she's been forthcoming with all the emails she should be disclosing. Andrew Cuomo's administration is purging emails earlier than many good government advocates say they should. What is the public's right to know? How can we be sure our government leaders are preserving records properly?
On top of that, we'll examine how reporters handle FOIL requests -- cases that involve freedom-of-information laws. Are those requests being handled properly? How quickly do government agencies respond? In studio we'll have two reporters who utilize FOI requests more than most:
David Riley, Democrat & Chronicle
Rachel Barnhart, WROC-TV
And on the phone we'll have:
Robert Freeman, Executive Director of the New York State Committee on Open Government
