Episode Synopsis "Academic Toxic Thinking"

In this episode, we wanted to focus on the so-called “Irvine Mentality” that defines the schools in our district. The Irvine Mentality can be defined as the academic toxic thinking that is prevalent in high schools throughout the entire nation. Today, we are joined by Jada, Eric, Amy, Misha, and Bardia as we talk about our time in high school and highlight the real, teen perspectives on how our different mentalities affected our high school experience. We hope you enjoy and can find something that resonates with you :)
