“Hall Pass to Nowhere” is a podcast that reflects honestly about what’s working in education and what’s not. Featuring real conversations with educators, researchers, parents and students. With fresh perspectives, a bit of satire, and plenty of humor (because if we can’t laugh at the system and try to fix it, we’re missing the point). Each week, we dive into the messy, meaningful, and sometimes ridiculous world of education — with curiosity, empathy, and just the right amount of edge.

    The end of high school is a pivotal moment for all young people, but for students with disabilities and their families, it marks the beginning of a complex and often daunting transition.
