Join us for "Talk out of School" on March 18, when we will talk state education funding, school closures and the pitfalls of ed tech
Please join us on Wednesday, March 18 on WBAI-FM 99.5 or wbai.org where we will "Talk out of School"  with Jasmine Gripper, Executive Director of the Alliance of Quality Education about what's happening with the state education budget and how parents can help ensure NYC get its fair share of funding.  

Then we will speak with NYC Council Education Chair Mark Treyger about what's happened with the school closures in NYC, and what's likely to happen next as the Department of Education moves towards "remote" or online learning.  

Finally, as other districts across the country including NYC start to expand the use of online learning, we will ask Audrey Watters, prominent critic of ed tech, what we should all try to avoid with this highly problematic mode of instruction.
