Welcome back to another episode of the podcast! We are continuing our conversation with some dynamic educators of HISD. In this  episode, , Mrs. Muhammed and Mrs. Ebony,  bravely share their experiences within Houston's education system post-state takeover.

Mrs. Ebony pull back the curtain on the challenges teachers are facing at her NES-A campus. We discuss the struggles of navigating a compliance-driven environment, where scripted curricula fail to resonate with students and school libraries are repurposed as disciplinary spaces. Her accounts paint a vivid picture of a school culture that mirrors a prison, with teachers feeling constantly surveilled and students stripped of their freedoms.

Through her personal stories, we confront the harsh realities of student trauma and the lack of adequate support systems in place. Mrs. Muhammed and Mrs. Ebony shed light on the profound impact of neighborhood deaths and other crises on students, underscoring the urgent need for compassionate intervention.

Join us as we stand in solidarity with these courageous educators and amplify their voices in the fight for a more humane and equitable education system. This episode is a reminder that real change begins with listening to those on the frontlines of education and taking action to create a better future for all.
