This is a special episode. We had the chance to speak with teachers, parents, and students about their experiences during the pandemic. Their insight about the obstacles and the victories over the past year are not only interesting but are worth consideration as we all discuss how to best support public education going forward. We certainly got a lot out of listening to these folks, and we hope you do as well.
