The Weeds: We Need to Rethink Discipline in Schools

The Weeds: We Need to Rethink Discipline in Schools

This Juneteenth, we’re sharing an episode of The Weeds, a Vox Media podcast where host Jonquilyn Hill breaks down the policies that shape our lives. This episode digs into school discipline and the achievement gap with Francis Pearman of Stanford University’s Graduate School of Education. For many Black children, their first encounter with the discrimination that will trail them their whole lives comes from the school system — a system where they are five times more likely to attend a segregated school than their white counterparts. Kara & Nayeema will be back Thursday with a fresh episode of ON.
