Description

Parents, we are right there with you with the stress, uncertainty, and fear about how this next school year is going to look. Teachers and administrators, we know you are doing your best. But what should we be thinking about when we look at the fall with regard to our own families, as well as our communities as a whole?

Today we riff. 

And we bring you, at the end, a special bonus - a meditation by Lisa Guyman to bring you peace, calm, a sense of healing and insight. Because what we’re all going through right now, and are about to jump into with online schooling, is an absolute cluster. Take this gift and run with it.

What to listen for:

• What we should be thinking about when it comes to pandemic pods and inequality.
• Things every parent can do - now or in a few months when things settle down a little (maybe) - to ensure that everyone in the community has access to education.
• The importance of early childhood education in development, and what happens when access is restricted.
• Challenges around actual access to working technology, as evidenced literally in this episode, midway through.
• Oh, and that meditation with spiritual instructor Lisa Guyman - and her YouTube channel is full of AMAZING resources!
