Eye Opening Podcast on Education System
Wow! What a podcast. Educational thought provoking, real and raw.

Real problem
The fall of the family structure is the problem. Race has very little impact. If parent/parents/guardian are involved with the child’s education, this increases the prof success for the child. Parents need to be parents, not friends. I taught for 33 years. Teachers are the ones you should be asking, not politicians or non-educators.

Amazingly Honest, Real, Informative
This is a must listen to all parents and public school districts around the country! This gets to the root of the systemic problem in this county. Lack of Education of this history in America and lack of community and DOE acknowledgement and change to support the marginalized population of children. The people who dislike this podcast are people who are uneducated, misinformed, or just simply don’t want to hear the truth because of their bigotry and fear. Ignore these people they don’t want change they are apart of the interest convergence. Meaning if it’s not going to serve their interests, they don’t want any part of it! I would love ti hear more!!

The most racist person in this podcast is the host
The most racist person in this podcast is the host, but it’s hard to figure out who she hates more, white people or the minorities she claims to support. She has no idea how spewing this propaganda is actually causing the division we are seeing today.

So insightful
As a parent of two (white) kids in NYC schools (actually in the charter school they mention in one of the episodes), this is spot on. NYC schools have many issues and they are some of the most segregated schools in the country. This podcast really dives into the complex issues fairly and from all sides.

People always against French
So why Spanish speaking families and Arabic speaking families didn’t work hard to bring their languages to the school instead of complaining about “new people” trying to make school better and avoid shutting the school down?? French government supports French kids in overseas to continue learning their language that’s why French embassy pays. I’m sick of those parents not doing things but complain and hating the change.

This is a must-hear if you’re a nice white parent (or not)
Enlightening. This should be part of the education curriculum for future teachers and education officials and board members. Also, every parent should hear this especially nice white parents. I wonder if those negative reviews come from those nice white parents. Probably.

Ridiculous left wing nonsense .
And racist. The teachers Union controls the course of education in this country and they as far left as any organization can be. They are to blame for terrible test scores and complete lack of discipline in the schools. While these are huge problems the biggest problem with our schools is the sexualizing of very young children - which is also of-course a decision made by the left not parents of any skin color. Stop dividing us by skin color . All of our children need the exact same things. Take your children out of government run schools .

Great listen
Currently in grad school and this podcast kept coming up so I decided to listen and boy am I glad I did. I love the interviews because it really puts the storytelling in perspective. This podcast also sheds light on the things we all choose to ignore (white and non white alike). Absolutely love this podcast!!

Lol
Why not have a new podcast titled “Absent Black Parents?” Nonexistent parents, fathers, and Lucy Caulkins are the real reasons schools are failing.

Lucy Calkins is the real reason kids fail
The NYTIMES has published several articles by Emily Hanford. She has shed SO much light on why children are failing in schools: Children cannot read because phonics and vocabulary acquisition is no longer taught ! Why did the NYTimes publish this ridiculous podcast blaming Nice White Parents for a problem that came out of the Columbia University teachers college. This podcast is just poor journalism ! The hypocrisy and ignorance would be laughable as a caricature of the progressive Left, the Wokesters, everything that irks the Right…except this about children and the NYTIMES owes us more. Please do a better job in the future!

I Needed This
I’m a Latina mom from the Bronx who was raised in the urban public school setting. I am the 1st in my family to attend college and to come out of poverty. I earn well and have been able to move to a nicer community with a better schooling system and I am STILL frustrated every day with what my options are for my kids. This podcast simply validated the gut feeling I, and so many from my community, have always felt in our gut—this system was never intended to help us thrive. I needed to listen to this podcast because, like the Puerto Rican mom said in the interview, the “feeling” of injustice forced upon is is like a slow and silent tumbleweed. It’s not noisy and hard to detect but you know it’s there. This is a valiant effort from a white mother to admit her privilege and I applaud it. So many of us needed to hear this. We needed to know that we are not being overly “sensitive”.

Critical, honest storytelling
A must listen for anyone who still does not understand the ongoing systemic effects of racism "post-slavery." If this information makes you uncomfortable, it should.

Great listen. Shows you the SYSTEM is Strategic
That opening story regarding Rob and the fundraiser, and then later mentioning the creation of a foundation instead of putting the money directly to the PTA really just showed you how this whole thing is money driven. Yes, it’s understandable that he wants to create a program for his child and others but by creating that foundation and pretty much continuing what he did at his child’s elementary school he’s just creating a new vehicle so people can pass their money through which allows them to write off those donations to the “foundation”. He created his own two for one special. Benefits his child and his personal taxes.

Very informative
People are doing the same things today to make sure that their children have a perceived advantage over the underprivileged and invisible. Good stuff.

Blame game placed in the wrong place.
There is a lot to be said for how education has failed the non white communities but this is way off. Historically her research may be accurate but she’s basing her theory of why schools are bad NOW based on wrongs of the past. She and every other public school critic need to talk to the teachers. Ask them why they can’t teach. Ask them about the parents who don’t teach kids respect and make the classroom unmanageable. This issue is not limited to one race but crosses all. A very non productive discussion that solves nothing.

If you want to understand what’s wrong with our public schools, you have to look at what is arguably the most powerful force in shaping them: white parents. A five-part series from Serial Productions, a New York Times Company. Hosted by Chana Joffe-Walt.
