Kicking off its second season, “The Living Room with Gerry Bonds” is spotlighting a back to school theme for its September edition and emphasizing some of the successful outcomes in some Oklahoma City classrooms.

The first segment guest is Carrie Coppernoll, education reporter for The Oklahoman. Carrie talks about her recent series “Real Expectations,” for which she spent a week inside three “high needs” schools, Edwards Elementary, Webster Middle School and John Marshall High School.

In the second segment, Bonds speaks with two Teach for America teachers who are in their second year at two “high needs” schools in Oklahoma City. Carolyn Statum is a pre-kindergarten teacher at Edwards Elementary and Matt Bjork teaches emotionally disturbed students at Bodine Elementary, according to a news release.
