What is a "Child?" The Ever-Moving Goalposts of Childhood

For this show, we're going to look at some contradictory messaging about children so we can have a discussion about what a "child" is, and who gets to decide?
Should it be parents? Teachers? Doctors? The State?
Should there be one definition, or should the definition depend on the situation?

It may not seem like it matters, but today's debates about education often hinge on what we think a child is (and isn't), and who gets to decide (or doesn't).

Let's talk about it.
