This week on #MaxOutTime #EducationReboot: Author Patrick Harris II discusses the main reasons why audiences will connect with his debut book “The First Five: A Love Letter to Teachers.”  

The Detroit educator is currently in his seventh year of teaching, but he says roughly 50% of teachers leave after the first five years. In the midst of a teacher shortage and student mental health crisis, Harris II pens an urgent message to educators in his reflections and also interviews teachers of a wide variety about the education system.
