Rainman's Take

Rainman and the Sage discuss where we are currently and why they think it's so important to get back to some sense of normalcy as quickly as possible.  Lessons learned from someone who has been open for business as an essential worker for the last 2 months.

Today's interview is with Mary Kae Rendock, former Connecticut State Teacher of the Year who has been teaching public elementary school for the past 34 years. Our conversation ranged from what it takes to be a great teacher, the current challenges kids face growing up in the social media world and how can the public school system be changed for the better.
