Episode 12: Pause to Ponder - The Current State of Education

It appears that our time has come and gone. For a brief moment, educators were recognized for the myriad of tasks that we complete on a daily basis. We were thanked for not just providing an education but serving as counselors, nurses, parents, and so much more. This is, of course, until we bucked back against the system.

In an attempt to get the country reopened and revitalizing the economy, there has been increased pressure for schools to open fully. This would require staff and students to return to campuses despite their seemingly to be no logical possibility while also adhering to the guidelines set forth by the CDC. To make matters worse, we have no become targets of verbal attacks and threats from the highest levels of our government. From being told that we are indoctrinating our students with falsehoods in an attempt to diminish their patriotism to threatening the funding that allows millions of students to receive a high quality education, we have become a target by those pushing for a return to normal. 

In this brutally honest, yet candid episode, I share my personal insights into the current state of education.
