James Wetz, Director of the Human Scale Education Movement, interviews Linda Nathan as part of his Dispatches programme titled The Children left Behind. In this clip she refers to the value of small schools and primacy of relationships.

Linda is the founding head teacher of the Boston Arts Academy, the city's first and only public high school for the visual and performing arts. BAA sends over 95 percent of its graduates to college—all residents of the city of Boston.

Linda was instrumental in starting Boston's first performing-arts middle school, and was a driving force behind the creation of Fenway High School, recognised nationally for its innovative educational strategies and school-to-work programs. She is also a co-founder and board member of the Center for Collaborative Education in Boston, a nonprofit education reform organisation dedicated to creating more equitable and democratic schools.
