Send us a textWe live in a society that's quick to label inequality as "the way things are" rather than confronting the systemic barriers that keep certain communities locked in cycles of disadvantage. The recent UK High Court ruling that 20% VAT on private school fees is lawful isn't just about taxation – it's about working-class families making extraordinary sacrifices because they've been failed by an educational system that desperately needs complete overhaul, not just additional financial barriers.This episode dives into how discrimination manifests across different spheres – from education to professional sports to everyday workplace interactions. When I was commanded to "smile" during a meeting, it wasn't an innocent request. It was a loaded directive rooted in racial and gender expectations that police Black women's expressions and demeanor. Similarly, when tennis star Aryna Sabalenka downplayed Coco Gauff's major wins, or when the Grammys suddenly split the Best Country Album category after Beyoncé's success, we're witnessing the same underlying problem: reluctance to celebrate Black excellence on its own terms.Perhaps most personally revealing is our exploration of friendship in midlife – what I call the "friendship renaissance." After years of giving too much to those who offered little in return, I've learned the value of having just two genuine friends rather than numerous superficial connections. True friendship requires a collective understanding of honesty, loyalty and love that many simply don't share. As we age, we become more intentional about who deserves access to our lives, recognizing that it's better to embrace solitude than accept relationships built on imbalance. What friendships are you nurturing or releasing as you evolve? How are you defining what connection means on your own terms?Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star

We're continuing our special series all about school options, and today we're diving into private Christian education. This is a conversation that I think will really help if you're trying to figure out what role faith can (and should) play in your child's school life. I'm joined by Katelyn Freitas, the middle school principal at my kids' school, and her insight is full of heart, wisdom, and practical encouragement.Here are four takeaways from our conversation:Faith-based learning shapes character. Discipleship is woven into every subject and classroom moment.Partnership with parents matters. Christian schools work best when parents are active, involved, and aligned in mission.Community changes everything. Relationships between students, families, and staff create a spiritual foundation that lasts.Every child is discipled uniquely. Christian schools aren't one-size-fits-all; they're about helping each child grow in Christ.Katelyn is a passionate leader in Christian education with years of experience in both teaching and administration. As a principal, she brings clarity, compassion, and a deep commitment to seeing students flourish academically and spiritually. She's also someone I personally trust with my own kids which made this conversation extra special.I hope this episode encourages you as you consider what's best for your family.(02:54) Current Role and Responsibilities in Christian Education(05:58) Understanding Private Christian Education(09:08) Benefits of Private Christian Schools(11:58) Challenges of Private Christian Education(15:05) Community and Family Dynamics in Private Schools(18:00) Identifying the Right Fit for Families(20:56) Curriculum and Faith Integration in Christian Schools(21:37) Integrating Faith and Education(27:31) Discipline vs. Discipleship in Schools(33:02) Navigating School Choices for FamiliesResources MentionedChapel Hill AcademyAssociation of Christian SchoolsNIV Application BibleChristian Parenting resourcesMarriage SimplifiedThe Christian Parenting Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

House Republicans want to set aside up to $5 billion a year for scholarships to help families send their children to private and religious schools, an unprecedented effort to use public money to pay for private education. The proposal, part of a budget reconciliation bill released in May, would advance President Donald Trump's agenda of establishing “universal school choice” by providing families nationwide the option to give their children an education different from the one offered in their local public school. Nearly all households would qualify except those making more than three times the local median income. Supporters of private school vouchers say they want to give families assigned to low-performing schools more choices. “Giving parents the ability to choose the best education for their child makes the (American Dream) possible,” said Republican Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy, who sponsored a similar proposal in the Senate. The program would be funded by donors who could contribute money or stock. In turn, they would receive 100% of the contribution back in the form of a discount on their tax bills. It would allow stockholders to avoid paying taxes that would be levied if they donated or transferred the stock. Critics decried the proposal, saying it would aid the wealthy at the expense of the public school systems that serve the overwhelming majority of students. They said it would set up a tax shelter allowing savvy investors to make money under the guise of a donation. All of this comes as the Trump administration downsizes the Education Department and cuts resources to public schools, including $1 billion in mental health grants and funding for teacher training. “This is a significant threat,” said Sasha Pudelski of AASA, the School Superintendents Association. She added that states that have voucher programs often end up assisting families that were already paying for private school. “It's opening the door even wider to what has already plagued voucher programs around the country, which is rampant waste, fraud, and abuse.” Public school advocates worry the programs hurt enrollment and per-pupil funding, ultimately leaving fewer resources for families that choose public schools. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

House Republicans' reconciliation bill, which includes a first-of-its-kind national private school voucher program, is now in the hands of the Senate.The proposal would use the federal tax code to offer vouchers that students could use to attend private secular or religious schools, even in states where voters have opposed such efforts.Debates about voucher programs have raged on throughout the years. But what does the research say? NPR education correspondent Cory Turner unpacks it. For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

We're kicking off a brand-new series all about school choices because let's be honest, it's something many of us didn't realize would be such a big parenting decision. Over the next five weeks we will be covering the pros and cons of multiple different school options: public school, private school, homeschool, and online school.In this first episode, I'm joined by my husband, Trevor, as we share our personal journey through public school, homeschooling, and Christian private school and why we're always open to changing paths if that's what's best for our family.Here are four key takeaways from our conversation:Your school decision doesn't have to be forever. We've learned it's okay to reevaluate and pivot when needed.God's guidance matters more than a perfect plan. Seeking him first gives peace in the uncertainty.Every option has pros and cons. We talk candidly about what worked (and what didn't) in each of our experiences.This is a judgment-free zone. This whole series is about informing, not convincing so you can make the best choice for your family.Trevor is my husband, parenting partner, and co-navigator of all things school-related. He's walked through this journey with me step by step, and together we've faced the highs, lows, and many “what now?” moments that come with raising school-aged kids in today's world.I hope this episode encourages you and reminds you that you're not alone in figuring this stuff out. Let's keep seeking God and trusting him to lead the way.(00:00) Navigating School Choices(02:52) The Impact of COVID on Education(06:08) Homeschooling vs. Private School(08:52) Values and Priorities in Education(11:48) Making Informed Decisions(15:00) The Role of Finances in Education(17:53) Understanding Your Child's Needs(20:57) Making Big Decisions Together(23:54) Finding Peace in UncertaintyChristian Parenting ResourcesThe Christian Parenting Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

Gov. Jim Pillen celebrated new laws he said would protect children online, and lawmakers approved extending tax deductions for private education to pre-college levels.

An Oklahoma Catholic school was refused government funding due to its ideology and worldview taught in the curriculum. The US Supreme Court concurred, finally acknowledging that only a secular humanist curriculum may be supported by tax dollars. The state would have to impose limits on curriculum choices. Two points. Education is not neutral. And education must reside under parental funding and control. This program includes: 1.

Seven per cent of British children attend private school – a tiny minority – and yet they retain a grip on our elite institutions. The latest figures show that 65% of judges, 44% of newspaper columnists and 23% of MPs were independently educated. Fee-paying schools, however, do not merely cater for the privileged few, but hard-working aspirational parents who want the best for their children. They also allow for a quality that is essential in all aspects of raising children: choice. Is this two-tier system an archaic injustice that needs total reform? Or is it the route to a better education for all?This debate was recorded at the Cambridge Literary Festival. You can watch and listen to more on cambridgeliteraryfestival.com Hosted on Acast.

I wanted to have Dan on the show to learn more about the inner workings of the mysterious private tutor world.  When I was coming up, private tutors were hardly a thing; now, they can be a difference maker.  Access to elite educational opportunities is a key line of division in our fracturing society and, while in education we tend to look for systemic solutions, what's going on with private tutors suggests that individual intervention may be where we want to focus.  Tune in to this fascinating conversation to learn:Why parents around the world are willing to pay people like Dan upwards of $2000 per hour to help their kids do better on standardized testsWhat close reading is and why it's the secret to standardized test success Just what is being measured by standardized tests, and why should we care about itWhy, despite their issues and limitations, many schools are turning back to standardized test scores to help sort candidatesHow the best schools in the world are designed to create lifelong learners rather than for information/curriculum deliveryAnd Much, much moreConnect with Nick Halaris: Nick Halaris website and newletter (sign up!)
