We are saying it.

I sit down with school leaders, founders, parents, community leaders to open the lid on what is really going on, what is breaking down, and where real change is coming from.

Because the answers are not in Whitehall.

They are in the kitchen.

Pull up a chair.

New conversations every Tuesday at 8:45am.

Shorts Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
