In this episode, we speak with Dr. Jennie Weiner PhD, professor of Education Leadership at UConn's Neag School of Education. Dr. Weiner raised quite a few eyebrows earlier on during this COVID-19 pandemic when she Tweeted about how she had no intention of homeschooling her kids while sheltering-at-home, and was going to allow them to enjoy their video games, eat cookies, and play instead. Her Tweet quickly went viral, and she was invited to write an op ed piece in the New York Times to discuss her philosophy and motivations behind taking this approach.

Dr. Weiner talks to us about the circumstances that lead to the article, the response to it, and her reasoning behind it. The conversation is definitely a very interesting one, and is definitely worth a listen, whether you agree with her position or not.
