In an increasingly tech-obsessed, career-driven world, Science and Maths are valued more than ever. But would neglecting the Humanities be a costly mistake?
This time I speak to Julia Fisher, a teacher from Washington, D.C.. We talk about her experiences in two radically different school systems and discuss the politics of school reopenings amid a pandemic in the US. Julia expects her students to surprise her with original ideas, and she makes the case that this is key to the continued value of the Humanities.
