John Tanner on Tests, College, and Cheating Scandals – Education Rickshaw

In this episode of Progressively Incorrect, I sat down with a personal friend whose work I deeply respect: John Tanner. His leadership in education has weathered storms—most notably, false accusations of cheating after huge gains in achievement were obtained at his school. But what shines through is his steadfast belief in the life-changing power of academic achievement and the role college plays in opening doors for students. John speaks openly about the convictions that have guided him, even when it wasn’t easy. This isn’t just a story of resilience—it’s a reminder of what we’re really fighting for in education.
