The State of Education Podcast, presented by One-Room Education

Summary: In this conversation, Katie Jones introduces the relaunch of One-Room Education and the State of Education podcast. She is joined by Francis Cook, the freedom ambassador for a grocery store called Seed to Table, Dr. Mary Cochron, an assessment specialist, and Mikaela Bolt, founder of Dream Media Marketing Agency, who has extensive training in ADHD and neurodivergence. Together, they discuss their roles in One-Room Education and their shared passion for teaching America's founding documents and promoting freedom. The conversation also covers the importance of proper assessment in education and the resources available to parents of neurodivergent children. The discussion highlights the benefits of homeschooling, particularly in allowing children to pursue their passions and interests, while emphasizing the need for individualized education. It also touches on the lack of parental involvement in traditional schooling and the importance of parents understanding their child’s passions and learning styles. The conversation then shifts to a reflection on the significance of September 11th, its impact on individuals and veterans, and the importance of supporting veterans, especially those with unseen wounds and trauma. In the final part of the conversation, the speakers address the lowering of standards for joining the military, the importance of exercising freedoms, and the challenges veterans face in accessing mental health support. They also introduce themselves and their work, inviting listeners to engage with them on social media and through their websites.
