Why is the burning questions that rescues their nation. - Hollow Heartland
In December 2021, Nicholas (former science teacher, now outreach coordinator) was joined by Adam (host of Heartland POD) on episode 14 of the Delta to discuss the lies behind School Choice including the underlying purpose of standardized testing. Over the past 1.5 years, Nicholas has moved from the classroom into a career of traveling the physical heartland to support teachers that help their students become agents of change in their own schools and communities.
At the time of recording episode 14, Nicholas had started a journal while recovering from COVID, which has grown into a collection of essays. These lectures he never got to give his students are now collectively titled: Hollow Heartland. Soon he hopes to publish them so that the students he left can read what he never got to tell them... but that is another time.
