## Resource

This episode is a hard-hitting conversation about school safety, parental involvement, and accountability in public education, centered on Geno Young’s experiences as a substitute teacher and his book on what he sees as deep systemic failures in Chicago schools. Josh and Geno discuss violence, low literacy, administrative cover-ups, and the lack of discipline in schools, then shift to practical advice for parents and students on staying informed, speaking up, and prioritizing safety.
