Podcasts about Public school

In this episode, I sit down with a thoughtful homeschool mom who opens up about a common challenge: What do you do when your child doesn't want to come back to homeschooling? Her daughter was homeschooled in kindergarten, went to public school for first grade, and now Mom is wrestling with whether to bring her home again. We talk through her honest concerns—like taking her daughter away from beloved teachers and friends, and how her child seems to respond better to other adults.We also explore the idea that it's okay if your child isn't thrilled about homeschooling—and why your homeschool doesn't have to look or feel like school to be meaningful. If you've ever second-guessed your decision or felt torn between what's good for your child socially and what feels right for your family long-term, this conversation will speak to you.

Clement Manyathela speaks Gauteng Department of Education spokesperson, Mr. Steve Mabona as angry parents and education activists voice frusrations about the dire situation at Alrapark Primary School in Nigel, where classes have been suspended for three weeks. Parents took drastic action after years of neglect – citing broken windows that injured staff, lingering asbestos, and faulty mobile classrooms that trip power. With education disrupted, pressure is now on Gauteng Education MEC Matome Chiloane, who has promised to rebuild the school in 18 months.

North Dakota's public schools are not perfect, but they are very, very good. Sadly, often thanks to national narratives that have little to do with what's happening in our school districts, that's not always the popular perception the public has. People are left with the impression that kids are being indoctrinated, or in extreme cases even groomed, and that's just not the case. North Dakotans for Public Schools is a new organization aimed at bridging that gap between public perception and reality. Former state Senator Erin Oban is a spokesperson for the organization (and, full disclosure, is also the wife of my co-host Chad Oban). "I don't think our public schools are perfect," she said on this episode of Plain Talk. But she wants the group to drive home the question: "What are we doing to to make them a little bit closer to perfect for the kids in our communities that they serve?" That doesn't just mean making the case for the state's public schools. It also means helping the schools understand the reasonable concerns parents and the public at large have. The goal is to  "build stronger more trusted relationships," Erin Oban said. Though that will include telling some of the positive stories about education, to try and get them on par with the negative things we hear. "The negative catches on so much more than the positive," she said, "and we need to be people who spread good news, not just bad news." Both Chad and I agree that there is a need to turn the temperature down in the debate around our public schools. "The adults have to start acting like adults," Chad said, and I think he's right. We also discussed my recent column about the "tyranny of small rooms," which sees the loud voices of angry people who show up at school board meetings, or on social media, get a lot of attention, even if their views aren't necessarily reflective of the larger public's.

Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.Want Your Kids Off Their Phones: They Just Told Us How to Do ItIn a new Harris poll conducted with The Atlantic, kids have reminded us about the importance unstructured, unsupervised play for the development not just of their actual intelligence, but of so many related developmental factors: critical thinking, problem solving, self-efficacy, social maturity, and, well, you name it.According to the article, What Kids Told Us About How to Get Them Off Their Phones, by David Graham and Tom Nichols, the Harris poll surveyed 500 kids between 8 and 12 years old, most of whom have phones and not only are on social media, but also interact—unsupervised—with adult strangers through social media or games. Yet, most aren't allowed out in public without adult supervision, even though, as the article states, “according to Warwick Cairns, the author of How to Live Dangerously, kidnapping in the United States is so rare that a child would have to be outside unsupervised for, on average, 750,000 years before being snatched by a stranger,” statistically speaking.But modern parents, concerned about dangers in the real world, relegate their kids to online interactions in part under the guise of their safety. As the authors put it, “because so many parents restrict their ability to socialize in the real world on their own, kids resort to the one thing that allows them to hang out with no adults hovering: their phones.”If there are operative words in that quote, they are “no adults hovering.” What kids report is that more than anything else, they want play that does not involve adult supervision.Of course they do. Why? Because, based on overwhelming amounts of research, our brains evolved with free play as a primary means of cognitive and social development. And that's not just true of humans, by the way. Studies on animals reinforce the point. For example, kittens who were not permitted free play also never developed they social skills they needed as adults. So, is should not be surprising that human children are meant to play with each other, in mixed groups, without supervision, figuring out how to get along, create games, test their own ideas, etc.If you want a sense of just how important and powerful free play is, then consider just one of many recent studies: Advocating for Play: The Benefits of Unstructured Play in Public Schools,Heather Macpherson Parrott and Lynn E. Cohen. The study examined the impact of increased free play time for kids in school, which found improvements in the following areas:· desire and ability to learn/focus,· mood,· social interaction,· cooperation,· problem solving,· independence, and· self-advocacyAll said, whereas the evidence about the harms of smartphones of child development is mounting fast, unsupervised free play helps young brains develop in just about all of the ways that they need to develop.So, though it might take just a little coordination with other parents, give your kids what they want (even they specifically don't know that they wan it): free play with other kids that's not (generally) under your watchful eye. Take their phones away and then drop them at a park, a backyard, a basement, etc. and tell them to have fun. And if they complain that they are bored, then tell them to figure out what to do, because that's exactly what their brains need to learn anyway.What I mean by that is that it is healthy for their brains to work through being bored, figure out how to resolve social conflicts, and invent what to do next, including, and most especially, adapt to changing circumstances. All of that happens through free, unsupervised play. So, sometimes the key to excellent parenting isn't parenting more, but parenting less.As Max Bekoff wrote, “Play is training for the unexpected.” This is a public episode.

As states roll out or expand private school voucher programs, many public school districts are trying new ways to recruit families and keep their schools open. In Arizona, the national model for school vouchers, families can get up to $7,500 per child. But critics warn that it diverts critical funding from struggling schools.

In “Virginia Public Schools Serve Indigenous Cuisine,” Gravy producer Anya Groner takes listeners to the second annual Indigenous Peoples Feast at the College of William & Mary. The evening's menu showcases indigenous food–foraged wild rice, duck confit, acorn grits, and a four-corn stew. But these dishes aren't just for enjoying tonight. With the help of a USDA grant, they'll eventually be served at public school cafeterias in Virginia's coastal Tidewater Region. Coming up with the menu wasn't easy. Centuries of forced assimilation, land grabs, and genocide prevented cultural knowledge from being passed down through generations. Designed by Chef Diosa Hall from the Mohawk Nation and Chef Joe Rocchi from the Pamunkey Tribe, the meal combined native plants and fowl from the Eastern Seaboard with contemporary culinary trends, emphasizing the entire production process, from tiny seed to plated meal. Volunteers foraged herbs like plantain and bergamot. Hunters donated ducks. Growers harvested sustainably farmed vegetables. Scaling up the supply chain to make these ingredients available to hundreds of schools could take two or three decades. Dr. Troy Wiipongwii is the Director of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Conservation at the College of William and Mary and a founding member of the Traditional Eastern Woodlands Foodways Alliance, the intertribal group leading this program. He says sustainable foods cost almost double to produce, but they're worth it. Agricultural systems like food forests not only rebuild ecosystems, but they also produce nutrient-dense food that's healthier to eat. Wiipongwii put together a K-12 curriculum integrating indigenous foodways into science, math, health, and humanities to change attitudes around food production. Chef Hall believes making native foods available in public schools will give indigenous students a sense of belonging. That's especially important because schools haven't always been welcoming places for Native children. For centuries, residential schools took children from Native families and forced them to learn European culture and adopt Christianity. Hall hopes the new menu she helped put together will reclaim some of the cultural practices targeted by the residential schools. Listen to find out what it will take to keep indigenous food traditions visible in the nation's cultural landscape—and how kids rate acorn grits and butternut squash against the typical school lunch.

Classroom Coverup: Border-Hopping Monster - Gregor's Terrifying Multi-State Spree! Witness a predator's interstate nightmare that spans decades and exposes deadly gaps in school oversight! Gary Gregor abused kids across Utah, Montana, and New Mexico starting in the 1990s—beginning with rubbing their backs and legs inappropriately, kissing them on the head or cheeks, and making lewd comments like "you look sexy" to young girls in Utah's Wasatch County School District at Heber Valley Elementary around 1995. Multiple students accused him, leading to a police investigation and charges of two counts of sexual abuse of a child, but the case fell apart when key witnesses recanted under pressure—possibly due to community backlash or fear—and the charges were dismissed. Despite this, the Utah Professional Practices Advisory Commission reprimanded Gregor in 1996 for "unprofessional conduct," placing a letter in his file but not revoking his license. Instead of firing him or reporting to a central database, the district allowed a resignation with a $10,000 severance package and a neutral reference letter that omitted the allegations, praising his "creativity in the classroom." This "golden parachute" was a classic "pass the trash" move, motivated by avoiding lawsuits and publicity in a small town where educators are community fixtures. Gregor's file wasn't flagged nationally, so he moved seamlessly to Montana's Bozeman School District in 1996, teaching elementary grades again. Complaints followed almost immediately: Students reported similar behaviors—excessive physical contact, like massaging shoulders or holding hands too long, and inviting kids for overnight stays at his home under the guise of "mentoring." Parents raised concerns, but the district conducted a superficial internal review, concluding no criminal acts but warning him about boundaries. Undeterred, Gregor resigned in 1998 with another neutral reference, citing "personal reasons," and crossed into New Mexico, landing at Española Public Schools in 1999 as a fourth-grade teacher at Fairview Elementary. Española, a district serving a largely Hispanic and low-income population in northern New Mexico, hired him after a background check that missed the prior red flags due to interstate silos. Here, the abuses intensified: Students accused him of touching their thighs under desks, rubbing their backs while they worked, and making comments like "you're my favorite" to isolate girls. He allegedly invited several for sleepovers, where inappropriate contact occurred, including fondling.  The pattern continued when Gregor transferred within New Mexico to Santa Fe Public Schools in 2005, teaching at Agua Fria Elementary. Complaints piled up: More thigh-touching, kisses on the forehead, and lewd remarks during class. Parents reported to administrators, but the district's response mirrored others—an internal probe that ended with a resignation in 2007, again with a neutral reference and no report to authorities. This shuffle allowed Gregor to evade detection until 2016, when a former Española student, now an adult, came forward to Santa Fe police about being raped by him in 2001 when she was 10. This sparked a cascade: Investigators uncovered dozens of victims across his career, leading to a 2018 indictment on 13 felonies, including criminal sexual penetration of a minor. In 2022, after delays from COVID and pretrial motions, Gregor was convicted in Santa Fe County of two counts of child rape and kidnapping, receiving a 108-year sentence (effectively life) for the assaults on two fourth-graders—one from Española in 2001 and another from Santa Fe in 2006. Additional charges from Utah and Montana were pursued but dropped due to statutes of limitations, though civil suits kept the pressure on. Victims' testimonies from trial transcripts and lawsuits are devastating, revealing a predator who exploited trust over years—in Utah, the 1995 complainants described feeling "dirty" after the touches, with one girl suffering panic attacks that led to homeschooling; Montana victims reported emotional scars like a boy avoiding school from unwanted hugs, developing anxiety into adulthood; New Mexico's cases were the most severe, with the 2001 rape victim from Española, identified as Jane Doe, detailing how Gregor groomed her with special attention before assaulting her during an overnight, leaving her with PTSD, depression, and substance abuse issues that derailed her life—she dropped out of high school and struggled with relationships. The 2006 Santa Fe victim recounted being pulled into his lap and penetrated, suffering nightmares and self-harm that required years of therapy. Overall, at least 20 victims across states reported impacts like higher suicide risks (victims of child sexual abuse are 4 times more likely, per CDC data), academic failure, and chronic health problems. Families spoke of guilt for not recognizing signs sooner, with one Española parent telling the Santa Fe New Mexican, "He destroyed our daughter's childhood—we trusted the school, and they failed us." Stats: GAO says repeats average 73 victims if unchecked. Ties: Like McGann's crosses (Episode 2). Fallout: NM's Erin's Law 2019. On X, demands for registry.
