Welcome to The Kayleigh O’Keefe Show!

In this episode, Kayleigh shares her reflections on the impact of school lockdowns and remote learning on children across the nation. With school-aged suicides on the rise and student achievement way down, Kayleigh shares her frustration on the lack of ingenuity and cowardice on behalf of those school districts that have continued to be shut down or at reduced capacity a year after the pandemic first started. 

Kayleigh shares that we have done a dramatic disservice to our children and invites you to share your personal story on finding ways to educate your children in Soul Excellence Publishing’s next multi-author book: School’s Canceled: How Working Parents Fought for Their Children During the Pandemic.
