Description
The Smog - is all of the things that we hear and say about schools and parenting that push us towards greater segregation. "I don't want my kid to be the only one" is one of these. It's a tricky subject, so we're going to break it up into two parts. Part 1- today's episode - is from the perspective of parents with kids who are currently the Only One. It can be challenging to navigate. We talk with Lauren from Pennsylvania about the experience for her, her two kids, and her family. It's not always easy, but there are real benefits as well.
Next week, in Part 2, we'll look at it from the perspective of adults who were the Only One - one white and one black - and how those experiences were different, how they were they same, and how those adults' perspective on the experience has changed over time.
After that, we're going to be taking a short break for the holidays, and to give you time to catch up on any episodes you may have missed.

Ep 12 - Whiteness vs Rightness: A Conversation on Colonizing: What does ‘colonizing’ mean in the context of a global majority school, and how can we be thoughtful about not centering whiteness? We talk to Kelly from NYC about some of the things we might think of as right, just because they are white. by The Integrated Schools Podcast
