The Education Evolution: A Conversation with a Veteran Teacher

We discuss the evolution of education, changes in technology and state testing, and the introduction of vendor-based curriculums. Stacey shares her personal journey, the ups and downs of teaching, the impact of social media, and the mixed motivations of students. The conversation also touches on the impact of COVID-19 on students' social behaviors and mental health, the challenges of classroom discipline and accommodations, and the declining profession of teaching.
