In part two, Maya continues to unpack the ongoing blame game in education. We discuss the lasting impact of No Child Left Behind and testing policies and why giving grades to schools may not be the best idea. From charter schools to vouchers, we examine how the focus on school choice diverts attention from the systemic issues plaguing public education. Discover how privatization, lack of accountability, and inequitable access to resources are leaving marginalized students behind. Learn why holding public schools accountable without addressing the root causes is counterproductive, and how school choice may ultimately exacerbate the problem. Gain a deeper understanding of the impacts of corporate influence on education, and why a community-driven approach to education reform is crucial for long-term success.

Our culture is constantly changing around us. A new story, new song, or new idea is being tweeted, posted or published every other minute. As the world changes rapidly around us, how do we respond? How do we stay rooted in our faith amidst a myriad of conversations? How do we stay grounded in truth when so much in the media is manipulated? How do we talk about our beliefs in a culture that may not feel the same way?

Conversations about faith and culture meet right here on Teaology, the podcast. Teaology is all about communities coming together through conversation. We find common ground when we communicate well.
