TALK TO ME, TEXT ITThe American education system has become ground zero for our nation's most heated cultural battles. From religious expression to gender identity policies, the classroom is now where opposing worldviews clash with mounting consequences for families.Colorado's proposed "Kelly Love Act" represents a troubling development for parental rights advocates. This legislation would allow courts to consider "deadnaming" or "misgendering" as forms of "coercive control" during child custody disputes. The implications are stark: parents who refuse to affirm a child's chosen gender identity could potentially lose custody rights. A Trump administration spokesman has already declared opposition, stating they "will not tolerate" such infringements on parental authority. The fundamental question emerges: who ultimately decides what's best for children—parents or government officials?Meanwhile, Alabama is charting an entirely different course. The state House recently passed legislation requiring the Ten Commandments to be prominently displayed in public school entrances, classrooms teaching civics or history, and other common areas. With an overwhelming 88-11 vote, House Bill 178 passed alongside companion measures banning drag shows, prohibiting pride flags in classrooms, and preventing staff from using pronouns inconsistent with students' biological sex. Representative Mark Gidley framed the legislation as "returning foundational principles to schools."We also explore the case of Parker Jensen, an 18-year-old Marine Corps enlistee from Maryland who was suspended after advocating for American flag displays in classrooms as required by state law. His subsequent lawsuit against Baltimore County Public Schools highlights how even seemingly straightforward patriotic expression has become contentious in today's educational environment.These stories reveal the profound tensions shaping American education today. Share your thoughts on these developments and join the conversation about where we should draw the line between parental authority, student expression, and government oversight in our schools.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

You'll have to forgive Steve and me for at times sounding, to use Steve's word, giddy during our conversation with retired Baltimore County teacher and administrator Bob Pettebone. Except for a brief phone conversation to schedule our interview for this episode, I hadn't had any contact with Mr. Pettebone since the mid-1970s. Steve has seen him only a couple of times over the same time span. Talking to him after so many years, I had the strange sensation of regressing to my fourth-grade self. And I liked it! Hearing him describe how at Gunpowder Elementary he came to call me "Lerch" for the way I sat in my chair, especially, in his recollection, when next to a cute girl, led me to two conclusions. First, the man has a phenomenal memory. Second, in addition to trying to get to know my cute classmate better, I wonder if I was also trying to copy her homework. So, again, forgive our occasional giddiness, but few students who were blessed to have Mr. Pettebone as a teacher walked away unchanged for the better. We hope you enjoy hearing about his illustrious career in education as much as Steve and I did.

Suzanne DeMallie taught for seven years in the Baltimore County Public Schools system. Research into her own son's learning difficulties led her to author the Classroom Auditory Learning Issues Resolution, adopted by the National PTA in July 2007. Her work has appeared in Our Children Magazine, THE Journal, Towson Times, and The Baltimore Sun. She has presented at the National School Boards Association's annual convention; to nation, state, and local PTA groups; and to politicians. Suzanne was awarded the National PTA Life Achievement Award in May 2007, the highest honor from the nation's largest child advocacy organization. She is also the Author of "Can you hear me now? Join the Conversation to Make Public Education a Better Choice" Three children, middle child had auditory processing deficits. Ears could capture auditory signals perfectly but brain couldn't process it correctly. Many children struggle with hearing issues. If you say, "I have a teacher voice, I don't need a microphone!" I will shame you. Parent supported holding their student behind and being told no. Don't tell kids all day they are dumb and then keep them in an afterschool program to tell them their dumb again!

In Free State Politics episode 8, public education takes center stage as John Rydell speaks to the president of the Teachers Association of Baltimore County. Cindy Sexton says the vast majority of students will finally return to in-person learning five days a week. But she adds there is currently not a vaccine mandate. “We hope that people get vaccinated. We know that's one of the ways to get on the other side of this pandemic,” said Sexton. The return to mask mandates continues to divide parents and students around the country. But Sexton says there will be a mask mandate in Baltimore County Public Schools. Rydell also examines the plight of a Baltimore County businessman who obtained a patent to streamline the process of refinancing mortgages only to have the Supreme Court declare his patent null and void. Larry Porter said, “I borrowed a half-million dollars to develop the technology.” He's since spent tens of thousands of dollars in a lengthy legal battle with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Porter adds that Congress also plans to examine the complex issue of patent laws. In his closing thoughts, Rydell reflects on the joyous return of the Maryland State Fair and county fairs after last year's shutdown due to COVID-19. This is a public episode.

With the highly contagious Delta variant now the most common strain of COVID-19, coronavirus cases, deaths and hospitalizations are rising in the U.S. Epidemiologist Dr. David Dowdy, of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, says we will likely deal with COVID infections for years, but vaccination is still the best protection as the virus mutates. And Debbie Somerville, coordinator of health services for Baltimore County Public Schools, talks about vaccine outreach to pupils and families, mask policy and new guidelines that may keep more kids out of quarantine.

Hello everyone! If you have been following me AT ALL on social media, you know I talk about change a lot. Not just change I think should occur in the school system, but changes other people believe should occur as well. But one aspect I have struggled with is how to make change happen at all. Sometimes, it feels like the system of public education is too big to change in any meaningful way… And yet, Suzanne DeMallie made significant change by being an advocate and educator, and now she is pushing for us to continue talking about change and taking action to do so. Last week, we dove into the overview of what change can look like, and in this episode we dive into the steps it takes to make change happen at various levels. Suzanne DeMallie taught for seven years in the Baltimore County Public Schools system. Research into her own son’s learning difficulties led her to author the Classroom Auditory Learning Issues resolution, adopted by the National PTA in July 2007. Her work has appeared in Our Children Magazine, T.H.E. Journal, Towson Times, and The Baltimore Sun. She has presented at the National School Boards Association’s Annual Convention; to national, state, and local PTA groups, and to politicians. Suzanne was awarded the National PTA’s Life Achievement Award in May 2007, the highest honor from the nation’s largest child advocacy organization. This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their professional book, Writing Unbound: How Fiction Transforms Student Writers by Thomas Newkirk. Writing Unbound is about the value of writing fiction in secondary classrooms. Tom Newkirk asks a tough question: if reading fiction is the center of most English classrooms, why is writing fiction often ignored? Why do we separate fiction reading and fiction writing? Tom argues that when our writing curriculum is too analytical, students think of “writing” as impersonal, formulaic, and…well…boring. He says that opening a door to fiction writing can ignite students’ interest and convince them of the value of writing. He even argues that allowing kids to write fiction will improve their analytic writing. Learn more about how fiction can transform student writers.

Education On Fire - Sharing creative and inspiring learning in our schools
Suzanne DeMallie has been striving to make a difference in education since 2005. Her book Can You Hear Me Now? walks parents and teachers through everything they need to know to make a difference in their local district and beyond, from the most basic questions they should be asking to the most effective steps they can take to make their voices heard. As a parent, Suzanne DeMallie fought a nationwide battle against bureaucracy for the simple, common sense idea that children in the back of a classroom should be able to hear their teacher. Suzanne taught for seven years in the Baltimore County Public Schools system. Research into her own son’s learning difficulties led her to author the Classroom Auditory Learning Issues resolution, adopted by the National PTA in July 2007. Her work has appeared in Our Children Magazine, T.H.E. Journal, Towson Times, and The Baltimore Sun. She has presented at the National School Boards Association’s Annual Convention; to national, state, and local PTA groups, and to politicians.

The education system can change top-down, or bottom-up. Author Suzanne DeMallie wrote “Can You Hear Me Now?” – a book about how parents and teachers might change our schools from the bottom-up. She draws on her own experiences in Baltimore County Public Schools as an elementary math teacher from 2011 to 2019, a parent of children in BCPS, and an advocate for sound enhancement technology in classrooms across the country. She also talks about how COVID has affected her opinions on testing, 1-to-1 device policies for elementary schools, and more.

Being An Ally Doesn't Mean Having All The Answers. It just requires a commitment to antiracism, empathy, and cultivating a growth mindset that helps them research and understand how policies and politics can affect their own and others' everyday experiences and access to resources. Marjorie and I attended the @brynmawrschool for 7 years, but didn't become friends until 10 years after our graduation. We connected on IG when we realized that we were both educators that loved fitness, wellness, and social justice. Over the years Marjorie has consistently shown her commitment to antiracism by speaking up about inequality, and showing up for students in the classroom. In this episode we discuss -How books can open windows to learn about other cultures -Owning your voice through writing -Critical thinking & media literacy -Embracing a growth mindset after trauma -Preparing students for success -The power of code switching -How educators and allies can support African American students and colleagues -Making antiracism a lifestyle -Addressing and combating microaggressions in and out of the classroom -Acknowledging privilege & inequality during the pandemic -How empathy and compassion can help us heal -Habits and mindsets to support personal and professional growth -Being an ally after the protests stop The real change starts at home for each one of us. Do what you can...as much as you can...and know that your voice matters so much! Take your time, but keep putting in the work. It's everyone's duty to make the world a better place. Go to https://justbloom.io/being-an-ally-doesnt-mean-having-all-the-answers-how-to-make-empathy-equity-a-habit/ to get more tips to engage in online and in-person conversations about social justice and the equitable treatment of Black people in America and abroad and all people.

We dedicate this episode to Rowland, his family and friends. We miss him and wanted to take the time to re-release an episode we recorded last year. Rowland Savage grew up in Baltimore, Maryland with his sister, Patricia; mother, Dorothea; and father, Milton. He entered the seminary as a young man and later switched to different academic pursuits. After attending St. Charles, he received his B. A. from Mount St. Mary's College in 1967; M.S. from Johns Hopkins University in 1974; and an advanced degree in C.A.S.E., Clinical Theory and Therapy from Johns Hopkins University in 1978. He began his professional career as a teacher at Towson Catholic High School. He was drawn by a need to help young people, so he pursued his licensure as a National Certified Counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. Within the Baltimore County Public Schools system, he became Department Chair, Supervisor, and then Coordinator for the Office of Guidance and Counseling Services where he provided supervision and program leadership for over 250 school counselors serving 162 schools.Rowland was a sought-after national public speaker and an expert on many topics including youth suicide prevention, crisis management, bereavement counseling, traumatic loss, conflict resolution, peer helper training, and personality disorders. He was involved in numerous teaching roles as an adjunct instructor at Johns Hopkins University, Towson State University, Goucher College, and Loyola College. Rowland was the recipient of the Governor’s Citation for Service in Support of Youth Suicide Prevention, 1996; Excellence in Teaching Award, Johns Hopkins University, 1999; Governor’s Award for Outstanding Contributions to Suicide Prevention, 2001; and the Maryland School Counselor Association’s Counseling Advocate, 2004. Upon his retirement in 2005 from his position as Coordinator for the Baltimore County Public Schools Office of School Counseling, Rowland received recognition from the County and Maryland State Department of Education commending him for his 38 years of dedicated support to their students.

Tom's guest today is the interim superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools, Verletta White. Last month, the County School Board appointed Ms. White as the permanent superintendent, but that decision was overruled last week by the State School Superintendent, Karen Salmon. Baltimore County is still reeling from the ethics scandal that led to a jail sentence for the previous superintendent. What are the consequences of the continuing drama surrounding his successor on the state’s third largest school district? Verletta White joins us today in Studio A for the first half of the show.---------------------------------------------------------------Plus, there is some drama with the leadership of schools in Baltimore City and Prince George’s County, too. We’ll have analysis of recent developments in both school systems as well as perspectives on Verletta White's situation, in the second half of the show today, from veteran Baltimore Sun education reporter Liz Bowie.

Also, professor of political science at St. Mary's College answers the question... has the race for governor been too quiet? Also, are democrats holding back punches in the primary?

Being a superintendent is anything but easy. Bureaucratic politics, having to work with multiple stakeholders, communicating a 1:1 plan to tens of thousands of students and teachers… heck, that’s not a job that just anyone can do. In fact, that might be why the average district superintendent in America doesn’t last longer than three years in the position. But when it comes to tenure, there’s one notable exception--and that’s Dallas Dance, the current superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools. Dance is a relatively young superintendent in comparison to others--he’s currently in his 30s--and he’s been in the role for four years. But that’s not all--in September, Dance told board members that he wanted another four-year contract when his current contract ends June 30. Right now, the Baltimore community is wondering if the board will let him stick around--”Will Dallas Dance get a new deal?” reads one newspaper entry. Lucky for us, we got a chance to sit down with Dallas back at the iNACOL conference in early November to learn about what can go wrong when communicating a rollout of technology, Dallas' favorite tools, how to sell to superintendents, and how Dallas gets professional development. Yes, that’s right. Superintendents need PD, too.
Dallas Dance, superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools, tells us how open communication with stakeholders and approaching the process as a "lead learner" can ease Common Core implementation.
On this sixth episode of Learnt, I sat down in the dining room with Ms. Santina Jannotti of Baltimore County Public Schools!
