OOL_0079 From Pro Public School to School Choice

Share It If You Like It:

Annie Friday is joined by Latoya Nelson of Raising Resilience this week in a very candid conversation about what school choice – and really just a wider array of options for education could look like – can mean for families undervalued by the conventional public school system. Latoya shares more specifically on the opportunities that school choice can create for some Black families. This episode was recorded back in October 2024 and is part 1 of a two-part conversation on the radical vision of what education can look like without schools as we know them today. 

Thanks for listening!
