Miseducation
94 episodes - English - Latest episode: 7 days ago - ★★★★★ - 140 ratingsNew York City is home to the nation’s most segregated school system, a fact that surprises those who think of the Big Apple as a progressive beacon. Deep inequities exist at every level of the NYC school system. We think more people should know about them and push to fix them.
That's why, each semester, we bring together a team of high school interns from across the school system to tell important stories from the perspective of the real experts: students.

October 17, 2023 09:00 - 16 minutes - 15.2 MBThe threat came in an e-mailed letter from the principal to the entire student body: Stop following the anonymous Instagram accounts, or face suspension. When Principal David Marmor of Francis Lewis High School in Queens discovered two accounts — one which posted fight videos and the other which included vulgar content that in some cases targeted specific students — he didn’t hesitate to act. In addition to threatening suspension, he promised to cancel all “celebratory events” like pep rall...
Missing Voices: Part 4 – Where Do We Go from Here?
July 06, 2023 09:00 - 29 minutes - 40 MBIt’s clear that disproportionate access to high school journalism is a consequence of broader education inequities. But, what about the news industry itself? In this episode, professional journalists shed light on the lack of diversity in the news industry, which is about 80% white, and less representative of the general population than other fields according to Pew Research. The lack of journalism opportunities for students of color feeds the diversity problem in the field. Despite the odd...
Missing Voices: Part 3 – Trials and Triumphs
June 29, 2023 09:00 - 29 minutes - 40.5 MBIn the summer of 2022, Press Pass NYC launched a fellowship for aspiring high school student journalists.

Our tea...
Missing Voices: Part 2 — The Quest to Revive High School Journalism
June 26, 2023 09:00 - 29 minutes - 40.6 MBSeemingly every New York City high school used to have a student newspaper. That’s what we learned on our trip earlier this year to the Center for Brooklyn History’s archived high school newspaper collection. Today, few NYC high schools have student publications of any kind. What happened? Where did all the school newspapers go? To find some answers, we sat down with Keith Hefner, founder of Youth Communication, a nonprofit that has been publishing high school students’ stories for more tha...
Missing Voices: Part 1 — Tale of Two School Newspapers
June 22, 2023 09:00 - 34 minutes - 47 MBNew York City is the media capital of the world, but not for its youth. Just one in four public high schools has a student newspaper these days. And there are big disparities in access by race and class. In this system of haves and have nots Townsend Harris High School in Queens is definitely among the haves. Its student newspaper, The Classic, has received national recognition for hard-hitting reporting in recent years. Meanwhile, at Pace High School in Manhattan, dedicated students and a...
Ep. 10: Student Homelessness in a City of Riches
June 16, 2023 14:29 - 14 minutes - 13.1 MBWhen you think about New York City, what do you think of? Wall Street? Fancy business ventures? The place where dreams come true? That’s certainly how I thought of it when I moved here from the Philippines at age seven. But there’s another side to the city. In 2021, about 1 in 10 public school students experienced some type of homelessness. That’s around 100,000 children. Quite surprising for the financial capital of the world. In the city of billionaires and luxury brands, how could so ...
Ep. 9: The AP Course Divide
June 15, 2023 09:00 - 14 minutes - 13.3 MBIn many schools across the country, high schoolers have the opportunity to take AP, or Advanced Placement, classes. These high-level courses are designed to introduce students to the rigor and expectations of higher education, and to help them get a leg up in the college application process. Some students look forward to the challenge, while others dread the stress and anxiety they bring. In this episode, I dive into the reasons for inequitable AP access across New York City, how this reali...
Ep. 8: The Price of Creativity
June 14, 2023 09:00 - 12 minutes - 11.6 MBThe transition from middle school to high school can be socially bewildering for many young people, but for New York City public school students like me it can also mean adjusting to drastically different economic and racial demographics. I went from my neighborhood school in the Bronx to a predominantly white school in Midtown, Manhattan. At my middle school, I took an art class that had no art teacher. At my new school, the basement has ten studios completely dedicated to music. There’s a...
Ep. 7: Food Fight — The Battle for Better School Lunches
June 13, 2023 09:00 - 15 minutes - 14.5 MBIn 1946, President Harry Truman signed the National School Lunch Act. It aimed to “provide nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to children each school day.” More than 60 years later, Michelle Obama championed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which required schools to provide students with healthier lunches. Since 2017, New York City has provided free breakfast and lunch to all public school students. These acts and reforms are great; they seek to ensure that all students rec...
Ep. 6: Locked Up Phones
June 12, 2023 12:05 - 13 minutes - 12.2 MBWhen I was in seventh grade, something changed in my school. The administration at the Bronx Academy of Letters was implementing a strange new policy called “Yondr.” Haven’t heard of it? Neither had I. Yondr is a company that makes lockable pouches for smartphones to create “phone-free spaces for artists, educators, organizations, and individuals.” The idea is that it helps with student learning by removing distractions from the classroom. As you might expect, students had some questions a...
Ep. 5: Responding to Racism in Schools
June 09, 2023 09:00 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MBAt my high school, Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in Queens, almost two thirds of the student body identify as people of color. When students witnessed a teacher make a racially insensitive comment during class, they knew something had to be done. The administration stepped in and facilitated a restorative circle, but the impacted students left feeling unsatisfied. This incident offers a lens into an ongoing debate about how teachers and school staff should handle acts of racial discrimin...
Ep. 4: Examining the Regents
June 08, 2023 09:00 - 12 minutes - 11.6 MBIf you grew up in New York City, chances are you have heard of the Regents. The Regents are standardized exams that students across the State of New York have to pass in order to graduate and earn a diploma that’s recognized by the State Board of Regents. Some words people I spoke to used to describe these exams: “A mess,” “stressful,” “Frankenstein” and “inequitable.” Today, there are Regents tests for ten core subjects, including U.S. History, English Language Arts and Chemistry. Most New...

June 07, 2023 09:00 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MBEvery year thousands of students fill out the FAFSA, a form designed to help working class families receive financial aid for college. Simple right? Fill out a form, get some money, go to college. Well, not quite. The FAFSA isn’t as easy to complete as it may seem. It encompasses 180 questions ranging from your family dynamics, to how much you and your parents earn, to citizenship and immigration status. Not only are there many questions, but they are often confusing. Those in most need o...
Ep. 2: We Need to Talk About Sex
June 06, 2023 09:00 - 18 minutes - 16.5 MBAre women more likely to contract STDs? Can HIV be cured by having sex with a virgin? Is using two condoms safer than using one? These are only a handful of the questions about sex that exist in the minds of high schoolers across the city. But because this topic often evokes discomfort and embarrassment, from both adults and young people, questions like these often go unasked. They become misconceptions. In the age of social media, where students like myself get a lot of their information a...
Ep. 1: Wake Up Call – School Should Start Later
June 05, 2023 09:00 - 14 minutes - 13.7 MBMy classmates are not happy with my school’s 8:20 a.m. start time, and honestly, neither am I. I’ve missed that first bell so many times. I had 12 tardies and 4 detentions in the past quarter alone, just from being late. And I’m not just late, I’m tired. When I get home, I’m physically exhausted, my bones hurt, and I just want to go to bed straight away. But as a junior, each month is very important. College applications, SATs, and the course work keeps getting harder. I just have too many...
P.S. 18: The People's Money
May 31, 2023 09:00 - 15 minutes - 14.1 MBFor the first time ever New Yorkers have the opportunity to vote in a citywide participatory budgeting initiative. It’s not people on the ballot. It’s people’s money — tax dollars – and how to spend them. All New Yorkers age 11 and up can have a say in how $5 million of taxpayer money is spent. On the ballot this year are projects like financial literacy classes for youth in the Bronx, revitalizing cinema deserts in Canarsie to anti-violence and restorative justice programming in the Lower E...
P.S. 17: Teens Talking to Teens About Mental Health
April 24, 2023 09:00 - 20 minutes - 19.1 MBMental health, perhaps more than ever, is a topic of conversation for the masses. Clinical terms like “triggered” and “anxiety” crop up in everyday discussion. Tik Tok channels dedicated to self-help and self-care offer tips on living your best life. And when it comes to young people, public leaders, from doctors to principals are trying new preventive approaches, like tele-therapy, to reach students before they’re in crisis. In the midst of a generational shift on mental health, we wanted t...

Special Report from Mound Bayou, Mississippi
March 20, 2023 09:00 - 36 minutes - 33.5 MBBetween Clarksdale and Cleveland on a quiet stretch of Highway 61 in the Mississippi Delta lies a town called Mound Bayou. Mound Bayou has more churches than stoplights, more vacant stores than occupied ones — a place that appears forgotten. But locals — folks who grew up here and stayed — wear these special glasses that allow them to see the town as it used to be. Put the glasses on and an overgrown lot transforms into the first Olympic size swimming pool available to Black Mississippians...

February 20, 2023 10:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MBCoco and Bissiri go to different public high schools, a few miles apart on Manhattan’s west side. One, predominantly white and middle-class. The other predominantly Black and working class. But demographics aside, what about the quality of education? The resources students have or don’t have. The classes. The extracurricular opportunities. This week, as a follow-up to our two-part series on the persistence of school segregation, we’re re-airing an episode from back in 2018 to illuminate the...
P.S. 12: The Persistence of NYC School Segregation, Pt. 2
February 13, 2023 10:00 - 23 minutes - 21.8 MBLast week, we traveled back in history to learn about Civil Rights-era efforts to integrate New York City’s segregated schools and we featured a speech from Reverend Milton Galamison, the leader of the 1964 NYC school boycott.

P.S. 11: The Persistence of NYC School Segregation
February 06, 2023 10:00 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MBIt’s February 3, 1964, in New York City, and time is up. An umbrella of civil rights organizations — the Congress of Racial Equality, or CORE, the New York Urban League and the NAACP — have patiently negotiated and waited… and waited for the Board of Education to submit a thorough plan to integrate the city’s segregated schools. But the plan that comes forward in the 11th hour is weak: no timetable, no serious commitment to change the status quo. So, close to half a million students stage ...
P.S. 10: Should NYC Schools Have Banned ChatGPT?
January 30, 2023 10:00 - 15 minutes - 14.1 MBQuiz time. Did a human write this episode intro, or was it AI? So, you may be wondering, what the heck is chatGPT?

P.S. 3: A Tribute to Teachers
November 21, 2022 10:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBMost of us have had a teacher or teachers who made a huge impact on our lives. They helped shape us, opened our minds to new things, and took time to help us understand the world.

So, we at Miseducation came up with the idea to let students share stories about the teacher or teachers they appreciate t...

November 14, 2022 10:00 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MBBy Jadelyn Camey In late September, I attended a press conference at which schools Chancellor David Banks announced changes to the middle and high school admissions process.
