BPR Full Show: Are The Parents Alright?

Today on Boston Public Radio:

We opened the lines to hear from listeners about a trend away from so-called helicopter parenting, due to parental burnout and a change in ideology.

Andrea Cabral discussed 20-year-old Sayed Faisal's death at the hands of Cambridge police. Cabral is former secretary of public safety for Massachusetts and Suffolk County sheriff.

Paul Reville discussed whether to bring police back to Boston Public Schools in response to increased violence on school grounds, and the latest on teacher strikes in Massachusetts. Reville is Massachusetts’ former secretary of education and a professor at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education, where he also runs the Education Redesign Lab.

Tech writer Andy Ihnatko discussed artificial intelligence technology's ability to recall images on command, and the Department of Justice's antitrust suit against Google.

We re-aired a conversation with comedian and author Jessi Klein about her book "I'll Show Myself Out: Essays on Midlife and Motherhood."

We ended the show by opening the lines for another parenting call-in segment: Is it actually a sign of intelligence that your young kid is foul-mouthed?
