\n<\/strong>The first event takes place Wednesday, Jan. 20,<\/strong> from 4 to 5 p.m.<\/strong> and is an online viewing and live chat of our original American Graduate<\/strong> documentary, NPT Reports: Choice or Chance?<\/strong><\/p>\n
The ability of parents to send their children to schools of their choice is at the heart of modern-day school reform efforts. But increasingly, public school choice has become a divisive concept \u2014 splitting communities among those who want students to attend any school that fits their needs and interests, and those who want a return to neighborhood schools attended primarily by children from the surrounding area and ZIP code. NPT looks at school choice in Nashville, how it has evolved and what it means to students, parents and the Nashville community.<\/p>\n
If you are concerned about what kind of school will work best for your child or if you are interested in education issues generally. All you have to do is click here<\/a> to watch the documentary and then type your comments (you can log in anonymously) or simply follow the discussion. Jo Ann Scalf, NPT\u2019s senior director of education and community engagement, will moderate this online discussion.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, Jan. 26,<\/strong> we\u2019ll host an online viewing and live chat of Aging Matters: Healthy Aging,<\/strong> from 12 to 12:45 p.m.<\/strong> This documentary examines the pursuit of health and well-being as we age from the perspective of experts as well as seniors who have found new leases on life. What is it about age that changes how we understand health? Two thirds of Medicare beneficiaries live with more than one chronic disease. But health is more than healthcare. The things that matter most in life, are the same whether you are 65, 95, or 25 \u2013 community, meaningful relationships, and a sense of purpose.<\/p>\n![\"AmGrad_Logo_Vert_Solid\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.wnpt.org\/mediaupdate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/AmGrad_Logo_Vert_Solid-300x146.png\"){kind=logo}
