Alter|Ego

Mae Lawson Castro is an educator/teacher in one of the most prestigious schools in America. A Canadian living and working in the U.S. She teaches math (and also music), coaches volleyball. We talked about school shootings and what they as teachers are doing in the event that such incidents happen to safeguard and protect not only themselves but more importantly their students. What her take is on teachers carrying guns. We also discussed the current Democratic Primaries, social media, the cancel culture, A little Trump, a bit of Trudeau and a slice of Duterte. The struggles of being an educator in the public school system ultimately proving the fact that being a teacher is one if not the most undervalued, underappreciated, grossly underpaid profession.
