Summary

The last time we spoke with Monise Seward, a 6th grade special education teacher in Georgia, it was April and schools had just begun to tackle remote learning. It's now the new year, and her class remains completely online. We spoke to her about the challenges of the new normal and her thoughts on in-person classes.

Senator Kamala Harris and VP Joe Biden made their first appearance as running mates yesterday. Harris has already begun laying out the case against Trump.

And in headlines: anti-government protests in Bolivia, Ilhan Omar wins her primary, and Trump will not let up on showerheads.

It's Thursday, August 13th. I'm Kila Hughes.

0:08.3

And I'm Gideon Resneck and this is what the day where we are currently imagining booking

0:12.0

plane tickets to a real DNC. Yeah, I mean we know it's a silly dream but it just kind of gives us

0:17.4

hope to imagine. Yeah, I'm having a ball looking for neck pillows online.

On today's show, a conversation with a teacher in Georgia dealing with the return to school,

0:32.5

then some headlines. But first the latest. And let me tell you, somebody who has presented

0:56.1

cannot go back to school. A crisis of poverty, of homelessness, afflicting Black, Brown, and

1:03.4

Indigenous people the most. A crisis of hunger, afflicting one in five mothers who have children

1:11.4

that are hungry. And tragically, more than 165,000 lives that have been cut short.

1:21.6

That was Kamala Harris detailing the abject failure of the Trump administration yesterday in the

1:25.9

first public appearance of the 2020 Democratic presidential ticket. Yeah, it was super interesting

1:31.4

to see how this was all laid out with not a lot of people or people clapping or anything.

1:42.1

were speaking, they were not wearing masks. But the other was like very far away in a chair. So it's

1:46.7

just different than anything in history, like pretty much every moment that we're living in. But

1:51.6

Kamala, tell them about himself. In other news, parents and teachers are still struggling with

1:57.8

the return to school, which has already begun for some students and will begin for more soon.

2:02.2

Back dropping, all of this is the fact that in many districts, the coronavirus is far from under
