S1E3 - Examining College Access for All

In episode three we take on recent developments in American schooling including preparation for school shootings, the debate around college access, and the importance of the arts in our schools. The episode begins with a look at recent headlines, including Betsy Devos throwing serious shade at past administrations and calling public education "a dead end." In the Show and Tell, Manuel makes a powerful case for greater investment in the arts, and gives recognition to the many teachers and organizations doing just that across the country. For the Seminar we are joined by a high school principal manager and the founder of a college access non profit to discuss the big questions that arise from our national movement towards college for all. Is college right for everyone? And if not, when and how do we decide? Jeffrey closes out the episode with his Assessment on the Republican tax bill and its dangerous implications for public schools across America.
