Join my old friend Ruben and I as we discuss his experience working in the field of child and adolescent education. Ruben is starting a high school teaching job in the 2023/2024 school year and we discuss how he came to this point, including his teaching experiences in different school settings, states, neighborhoods, etc. Topics such as school funding, how to get people to care about and advocate for education, how kids can advocate for themselves, current problems such as poor school conditions, teacher burn out, ongoing impacts of systemic racism and poverty, polarization in society around school curriculum, etc., and more are covered.
This conversation goes in all sorts of directions, and we are curious along with you about how we can best improve the education system so please share any thoughts, information, or feedback. Thanks for listening!
