Manage episode 402067210 series 3464151
Why are high school graduates struggling with basic reading skills, and is the issue solely due to underfunding, or is there a deeper complexity at play? Join me for an enlightening conversation with fellow Kentucky educators Beanie Geogheaen and Delvin Azofeifa as we dissect the intricacies of our education system. From the influence of private entities on standardized testing to the true impact of mentorship on our paths, we unpack the challenges and triumphs educators face in shaping the future of young minds.
The debate over school choice heats up as we consider its potential to spark beneficial competition within public education. We confront the realities of "teaching to the test" and the unintended consequences it holds for student creativity and genuine learning. As our guests share their personal narratives, we reveal the human element of teaching, highlighting the critical importance of understanding and empathy within the classroom walls.
