31 Ira Glass 2004 <p> In this recent episode of public radio's &quot;This American Life,&quot; host Ira Glass revisits the school where he did a year-long series as a reporter for National Public Radio 10 years ago. Back then, Chicago's Irving Elementary was becoming a local and national model of school reform. When Glass heard that Cathy La Luz, the best public school teacher he'd met during all his years of education reporting, was considering leaving her job, he went to see her in her classroom. Listen to his conversation with her, followed by an hour of exploration about &quot;the rise and fall of school reform&quot; from the perspective of one of America's best journalists.
