- Important Story Well Told
I really enjoyed this four-part series. Of course some moments are tough and sad, but Emily relates these real events with a light touch, while also keeping you grounded, and thinking (and re-thinking).
There were several twists and turns I did not see coming, and most importantly, the series stays firmly tethered to an important central question: how can we balance the needs for fairness, equity, and justice, against the need for safety?
This is well, well worth your time.

I am for students to keep cell phones if they can remain for emergency purposes only. I do understand they can distract the teachers. I would like to discipline on a case by case b... more

Apple Podcasts5Monier2056United Statesa year ago - Justice for Marcus 💜
Emily Reeves does a remarkable job identifying the many threads connected to safety in schools. This series was refreshing because it expanded beyond the usual polarized taking points of guns in schools. Reeves held space for contradictory perspectives, while honoring the noble efforts of a hometown community’s current effort to build a more effective system of safety for all students.
I personally enjoyed the final episode’s wisdom in recognizing when policies are based in fear rather than su... more
