Jie Zhang was the first China-born principal at the prestigious
Stuyvesant High School in New York City. She talks teaching math to American prisoners, dealing with forces to democratize enrollment at overly-Asian magnet schools (such as Stuy), returning to China to lead two international schools amid overwhelming opposition from family and friends.
