62 - Communal Grieving with Annie Tan
On today's episode we were fortunate to be joined by a truly talented, and empathy filled teacher, Annie Tan. A Chinese Asian American elementary special ed teacher of students of color living in Chinatown NYC, Annie shares and communally grieves about the negative affects COVID19 is having on Chinatown, the recent anti-Asian attacks, and her family's legacy.
Annie also shares how the open school movement has been attacking educators, and her specifically.
Finally we discuss her memoirs that she is currently writing, and the hope she has for education post COVID.

This podcast focuses on issues with our current education system and ways we can empower students, educators, and anyone who cares about education. Shouldn’t people be put before profits? Shouldn’t our children be educated to grow and learn instead of being treated like the means to the financial gain of those in power? If you agree with this so called “radical” and “revolutionary” perspective, you’ve come to the right place! Join educators Gord Milstone and John Battalion as they call out systemic problems and discuss how we can break down barriers in the educational system.
