Miseducation
New York City is home to the nation’s most segregated school system, a fact that surprises those who think of the Big Apple as a progressive beacon. Deep inequities exist at every level of the NYC school system. We think more people should know about them and push to fix them. That's why, each semester, we bring together a team of high school interns from across the school system to tell important stories from the perspective of the real experts: students. Miseducation is a program of The Bell. For more, visit bellvoices.org/podcast and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @miseducationpod.
Diverse Perspectives

Love the variety of voices and angles on education covered here. I also appreciate hearing young people get more comfortable asking hard questions and using this platform to connect with the masses.
We get to hear students reveal our collective Miseducation!

The ways in which the student perspectives shed light on the NYC school system’s inequities are honest and thorough. We get a fuller picture of the personal effects of city- or schoolwide policies in the lives of different students. The combined audio experience of music, narration and interview clips is also edited beautifully.
One small volley, one spike for progress

The story about the Jaguars put the issue of integration, privilege, and team spirit front and center. What is the strategy for coaches who have club players, working students, and those with limited sports time? Can they build a team that represents each of the four school? Perhaps the Jaguars may benefit from a specific time to talk and explore goals and methods? Can parents from each school be more involved by organizing a team outing or a team breakfast? You have created a solid foundation for the Jaguars. Keep building. Best wishes from a fan in North Carolina.
NYC students deserve better!

I’m so bad at listening to podcasts but I’ve become addicted to this one by Taylor! The interviews with the NYC high school students are so fun - these kids are so bright and inspiring. It’s heartbreaking to hear that NYC’s public school system is THE MOST segregated one in the country. Taylor’s lessons on the history and policy of integrations really help motivate and spur me as a listener to want to take some action. My only regret is not discovering it sooner. I highly recommend checking out this podcast, even if you’re bad at podcasts like me!!!!!
