In previous episodes, I have talked to students about how the quarantine has affected them, and now it's time to hear from teachers! In this episode, I talk with my good friend and coworker, Michelle Gentry, and a parent of a student we had this year who also happens to be a teacher, Morgan Ramsdell. While we discussed the struggles we had with school ending the way it did, we also touched on other topics, such as racism, gender differences in students, and our ideal plans for moving forward with school. We hope you enjoy!
