This Week: As the school year begins across many parts of America, we welcome back our long time friend of the show and middle school literacy coach extraordinaire Genevieve DeBose. With some fascinating new survey data out from the Rand Corp. showing modest improvements in teachers' plans to remain in the profession, but persistent job related stress, we talk about how wily vets are staying motivated, engaged, and continuing to find joy in the work. Plus, with so much swirling around schools -- from fears of ICE and LAUSD making strong efforts to keep kids and families safe, livestreamed genocide on kids phones, and the constant authoritarian creep dominating the headlines -- we discuss how to talk about the world with students today. Manuel, Jeff, and Genevieve discuss!
