This program spotlights four disturbing issues challenging America’s school system today: sexual harassment among students, molestation by teachers, the use of excessive force in corporal punishment, and chronic truancy. Interviews with school personnel, legal professionals, parents, students, and victims—filmed in schools and courtrooms, out on the street, and in students’ homes—present a multi-sided look at these urgent problems. Some language may be objectionable. Produced by CBS News. (44 minutes)
