Greetings, CharterFolk!
This week, Andy and I are talking about people who can’t take yes for an answer.
Here is a link to our conversation where you can listen to the podcast. And for those of you who would prefer a video recording, we provide a link to YouTube as well.
This week some of the topics we discuss include the following:
- Can’t say yes to equity and excellence (00.01.10)
- Can’t say yes to providing parents with timely access to results or resources and tools to support their kids in mitigating pandemic learning losses (00.08.42)
- Can’t say yes to improving the way we teach history and civics (00.18.59)
- Can’t say yes to academic freedom and the full exchange of ideas (00.28.28)
- Can’t say yes to what is best for kids as a core value of collective bargaining (00.35.28)
The show notes are available via the podcast.
As ever, I’m eager to hear feedback and suggestions from CharterFolk. So, if you have a chance to listen to the discussion and want to drop me a line with some thoughts, feel free to reach me at jed@charterfolk.org.
