It’s back to school time, so we checked in with some our favorite local journalists and bloggers who focus on the topic of education. In this podcast, we hear about the local and national education news headlines that caught their attention. And, they talk about how some school officials in the Chicago Public Schools are quick to call the police. That leads some students to receive harsher punishments than an adult would face for the same offense. Host Richard Steele was joined this week by: • WBEZ’s Becky Vevea • Sarah Karp of Catalyst Chicago • Blogger and Educator Ray Salazar and • WBEZ Intern Marcus Blueitt. Marcus is going into his Sophomore year of College this year at Colby Sawyer College in New Hampshire. He’s also a North Lawndale Resident. The Barber Shop Show airs on Fridays and Saturdays at Noon on 90.7FM and 89.5FM. You can also stream live at vocalo.org. The show also broadcasts on Sundays at 3pm on WBEZ.
