This week, with Mike on well deserved vacation, Ryan and Sarah are joined by Academica general counsel Collette Papa and school security expert William Tagle on the panel. Sarah talks about a new school in downtown Seattle that adopts an educational model that focuses on making its surrounding community its classroom. The second hot topic on this educational podcast is the usage of marijuana and vaping, and its problematic usage by students in schools. The crew addresses long term causes and ways that both parents and educators can be more vigilant.
