This episode was born from a heartfelt question we received from a parent in our community. How do you navigate the strong feelings that come up when you’ve seen the harms of the school system - yet your family, friends, or even your kids might still choose school? And how do you handle the pushback when any criticism of school feels like an attack?
We dive into the cultural clash at the heart of these questions: why critiques of school often feel personal, how to honor the good intentions of teachers without defending a broken system, and why avoiding binary thinking matters. Join us as we share strategies for bringing more nuance, empathy, and empowerment into these tricky conversations - without losing sight of your values or your relationships.
