About this podcast

Schooled is a parent-driven podcast examining the pivotal moment facing New York City public education. With enrollment falling, standards shifting, and politics increasingly overshadowing academics, hosts Deborah Alexander, Yiatin Chu, and Josh Kross dig into what families are really seeing in classrooms and communities. They unpack the debates: gifted programs, policy experiments, data transparency, and the widening gap between official narratives and lived realities. Smart talk and real stakes from real stakeholders, this is the conversation NYC’s families can’t afford to ignore.
