Ep1: TEACHER STRIKES — Common Sense W/ Dr. Charles Cole III

A new wave of teachers' strikes has swept the country, but what do they mean for our most vulnerable students? Education advocate and founder of Energy Convertors, an Oakland-based platform bringing power and agency to students and their families, Dr. Charles Cole, III brings a common sense moment to the situation.

In the first episode of our new digital segment "Common Sense W/ Dr. Charles Cole, III," we take a deeper look at the root causes and history of teachers' strikes as well as the context in which they spring up and the outcomes.

Dr. Cole takes a student-centric approach in assessing the situation, the background, and the consequences.

Let us know what YOU think, what's your common sense take about teachers' strikes?
