In today's chat on the Business Coffee Hour with William Garay Jr., we're hanging out with Mr. Chris Rodriguez. Chris is a teacher who knows a lot about how schools work. We talk about how tough things got for teachers and students when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Chris shares how teaching has changed and why parents, teachers, and students need to work together to make school the best it can be. He also reminds us how important it is to spend time with our kids, helping them learn and grow, not just in school, but in life too. Wrapping up, we chat about something really important - mental health. Chris tells us why it's so crucial to look after our feelings and find people we trust to talk to when we're feeling down. So, grab your hot chocolate or juice box and join us for a fun chat that's all about learning, growing and staying healthy.
