In this episode, Mr. Global and I do a deep dive into Venezuela's colonial past, the incursion of the US into their oil market and the volatile state we are finding ourselves today.Any guesses on what the US does next?

Marit Stiles (Leader of the provincial NDP) and I sit down to discuss how she got kicked out of parliament for telling the truth...and she isn't stopping anytime soon.

In this episode, I take you back to the swing sets of 1978 and jump off into the complex world of race, ethnicity, sex, and identity.  The full story will be found in my NEW book 'That's Not What This Book Is About' - available July 1, 2025.  The easy questions are never interesting...and to be honest, they never get asked anymore...there is google.  Education is more about nuance, discussion and critical analysis than it has ever been before.  I may not have even close to all the answers, but I promise to never stop asking the questions.That's Not What This Book Is About - Joanna JohnsonOrder it on July 1, 2025 at unlearn16.com

In this episode, I take a walk through Metro Prep Academy to see what we have accomplished over the year and what amazing things are in our future.  The full story will be found in my NEW book 'That's Not What This Book Is About' - available July 1, 2025.  I don't think I ever saw myself as a Vice Principal of a school, but I could never see myself working somewhere other than Metro Prep Academy.  Thank god I had Ryan to direct this last year...he and I are really Batman and Robin (he is Robin).That's Not What This Book Is About - Joanna JohnsonOrder it on July 1, 2025 at unlearn16.com
