  • Parent loves pod

    As a parent, it’s so helpful to know all this stuff! I love knowing how to be a good partner in my kids education; I know how much teachers care (u don’t do this job unless u love it; my MIL is a teacher!). Hearing professionals talk about how grading ACTUALLY works vs how it SHOULD work is mind blowing. I hope this pod grows. (Please don’t grade my review; I love punctuation wayyyyy too much!!!).
