Apple for the Teacher — True Crime
Apple for the Teacher

True crime stories in the school system – told by a teacher from Australia. For people looking for something different in the true crime genre, other than Ted Bundy or the Zodiac Killer. Diverse and lesser-known stories – an albino student murder in Africa, schoolgirl sexual slavery in Libya, a teacher beheaded in France, Polish teachers executed by the Nazis, just to name a few. School-based tragedies are also featured – a school bus stranded in a snowstorm, a school wiped out by a landslide, the drowning of students in a sinking ship. So join host Ana Thomas, as she presents the bad apples.

But it was noted that there had been a noticeable improvement in test scores in one particular school district. So was this a result of educational reforms designed to improve student outcomes or was this anomaly something else?
