David Dickinson interviewed for NPR's "Morning Edition"

topics: Teaching and Learning, Communities

National Public Radio, "Morning Edition," February 7, 2008

The ritual of a family dinner has been praised as an antidote to bad grades and bad habits in kids. But as researchers look closer at the family dinner, they raise the question: Is it the mere act of eating together that counts, or is it that strong families are already more likely to have a family dinner?

The segment contains quotes from an interview with David Dickinson, Professor of Education and Interim Chair of Peabody College's Department of Teaching and Learning.
