Public schools carry a beautiful promise: a safe place where every child can learn, grow, and be cared for. In this episode, I talk about what schools are meant to be, what they actually provide, and how hard educators work to hold everything together despite curriculum mandates, flawed testing, political interference, and chronic underfunding.
This is an honest look at the people inside the system, the limits placed on them, and what happens when a system this important is held back on purpose.
