Listen "Our inequitable schools can't change in time for our kids. If it was going to happen soon, it would be happening right now, and it's not."
Episode Synopsis
For me and my family, we are not turning back to old ways that weren’t
working. Even if it’s familiar and simple and alluring.
I want my children’s life and education to be more than a repeat of their
parents’ old school wounds. Now is the time to be bold, to make decisions
based in faith and a revolutionary view of education.
I’ll keep trying to write about education, but my focus has, with four kids
at home, necessarily shifted from demanding radical change from a faceless
system, to enacting radical change in my own life. This is a mission.
