The hosts explore whether this kind of school is the right approach to solving the education crisis in big cities, asking if it will truly benefit students or if it’s another flashy idea that may not address the deeper issues in education today.
Next, the episode takes a lighter turn as Katie and Dr. Jacobs talk about a California teacher’s shocking discovery of a bear in her classroom.
