Why did you choose this theme?

We are in a moment in the U.S. when teachers are leaving the classroom and education is a political focus. There have been several outstanding podcasts exploring layers of education from juvenile justice, to equity in classrooms, to curricular monopolies, to teacher attrition. As a teacher, these are the podcasts that I appreciate and recommend to anyone who wants to know more about what is happening in education.

🎤This week in Podcast The Newsletter: In 1995, Carole Fisher was looking for love so her friend Mindy introduced to Bob Bierenbaum, a Jewish plastic surgeon who flew planes and spoke several languages. He was “perfect on paper,” a fact that allowed Carole to dismiss several red flags. Like telling her that his ex-wife Gail was missing and presumed dead but he definitely did not kill her!!!! Carol and Mindy start talking about him and along with a bunch of other girlfriends, start this sort of armchair detective club where they attempt to track down what happened to Gail. It was a joke. But the dots start to connect in The Girlfriends.
