New York City schools are supposed to be back in session in September. Are they ready?
The Politics of Everything is now live!
Hosted by literary editor Laura Marsh and staff writer Alex Pareene, The Politics of Everything is about the intersection of culture, politics, and the media.
Teachers feel frustrated and afraid. Parents are overburdened. Guidance from officials has been scant. For the schools preparing to welcome students back next month, nothing about the planning process has been easy. On Episode 14 of The Politics of Everything, the writer Keith Gessen joins hosts Alex Pareene and Laura Marsh to talk about why the city’s fight to safely return kids to public schools has been so difficult.
Later in the episode, J.C. Pan, a staff writer at The New Republic, explains what makes the current downturn a “shesession,” and how efforts to alleviate its effects on women must take more than gender into consideration.
