Back to Freedom School – Ongoing conversations about education equity in the State of Vermont

If you fail our students, you fail our society…

This week on Back to Freedom School, a little bit of a throwback to this past summer when I spoke with one of my neighbors, Cathy, about her family’s educational experience in Burlington. These can be vulnerable conversations to have, so I am truly grateful for Kathy’s honesty and authenticity. 

In our discussion she acknowledges “a huge divide between the school community and the makeup of the school community, and those parents that have the means and the resources and the ability to support their students in ways that other families will not. And there goes the whole picture, it just cuts to the heart of the matter. And I’m just really worried.”
