Gary sits down with Katharine Birbalsingh, a British educator and headmistress of Michaela Community School, a school in inner-city London run on traditional educational principles. Last year Michaela's students achieved some of the best GCSE scores in the country, receiving the highest possible grade at a rate four times higher than the national average.
