Our guest this episode, Liv, is a junior in high school.  She shares with us her experience, her biggest influences as teachers, and ideas to make school more equitable. I was impressed by how aware she was of the challenges and discrepancies that exist in high school, even if adults and educators aren't talking about how to fix it - the students see it and are working to make a difference.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why autonomy matters in the way students experience learning
• Liv’s definition of success as a high school student
• College’s role in modern society
• Why school feels less like learning and more like a competition
• The club Liv started to raise awareness of social justice issues
