Episode 6—Jason COVID Stories
-
- Society & Culture
It’s wild to think that fall is here already, and school is back in session. Education in the United States relies, as it always has, on one all-important factor—the teacher. Meet Jason. He teaches Social Studies at a vocational-tech high school on Boston’s North Shore. He moved his classroom online when the pandemic first began. I spoke to him in late June about his experiences, and how it affected his students learning. He told me about the challenge of teaching Social Studies to high school students today, about his passion for teaching Genocide Studies—and raising awareness for the need to teach Genocide Studies. He told me about how he sees students putting lessons from his classroom into practice as young adults and what he thinks, as a history teacher, about our current moment in American history.
