The hardships of this pandemic are difficult, and one of them is educating students in our schools. But what is it like from the teacher's perspective? In this show I welcome David Katz, a teacher at Bronxville middle school. The setup in Dr. Katz's classroom has all desks six feet apart with plexiglass around each one. In addition, Dr. Katz has hearing loss so this setup made it extremely difficult for him to hear his students. Fortunately we found a solution...a hearing loop was installed in the classroom. This technology allows the voices of his students to feed directly into his hearing aids, which significantly reduces the barriers, and has actually created a new level of instruction that could be utilized in other classrooms and schools. Plus hear what he has learned from 2020, his favorite sound, and the song that makes him, and especially his wife, happy :).
