About this listen

Is the education system singing its own praises while teachers and students face a discordant reality? Join Carlos and me as we pull the curtain back on the educational landscape, revealing a striking dissonance between the glowing reports of administrators and the genuine struggles shared by educators and parents. Our community members aren't holding back, and neither are we – expect raw conversations that expose stress, high turnover, and the quiet fears of those shaping the minds of our future.

As the drama unfolds, we shine a spotlight on the plight of non-certified teachers facing an uphill battle for respect within the Houston Independent School District. We chuckle at conspiracy theories involving Mike Miles and Mike Morath's professional relationship, while seriously pondering if the behemoth size of HISD is its Achilles' heel. We aren't shy about questioning the numbers either; with reports of high retention rates clashing against the whispers of teachers itching for an exit, you'll hear us unravel what's really happening behind the stats and what it could mean for the future of our schools.

We're not just here to narrate the story – we're looking to you, our listeners, to join the discussion and shape the narrative. Your theories, reflections, and insider knowledge are the missing pieces we need to complete this puzzle. So, reach out through whispers, underscore 20, or slide into our DMs on platform X with your take. As we try to make sense of the complex web that is educational policy and politics, your voice could be the one to uncover the truth that lies hidden in plain sight.
