This is the first totally new episode in about 10 months. What could get me to put aside my other work to make sure this episode gets out? Only something as important as the death of critical thinking in our education system and how it has especially played out this school year of 2023-24 would make me drop everything to make sure to get this out.   Please open your mind and heart while listening to this episode.  I want to thank Distant Cousins, one of my favorite bands, for their incredible music that opens and closes my show. Give them a listen! Want to get in touch with me?  IG: @batsheva.frankel X: @batshevafrankel website: batshevafrankel.com
