Reimagining Our Education

In this episode, we explore the deep inequities in our education system. Inspired by the Black Panthers' Oakland Community School, we discuss how education can shift to a community-driven holistic model that uplifts and empowers students. We call for a radical reimagining of public education that prioritizes culturally relevant teaching, mental and physical well-being, and family engagement. This conversation highlights alternative models like community-based schools and technological innovations, emphasizing the importance of advocating for our children's education, and creating schools that support their identities and limitless potential.
