Manage episode 494600839 series 3391561
The alarming realities of unregulated childcare facilities operating with twice its maximum occupancy, this facility housed infants in a windowless basement alongside propane tanks, creating what authorities described as "nightmarish, hellish conditions." The conversation shifts to Oklahoma's peculiar response to teacher shortages—creating additional barriers rather than incentives and professional approach to firing employees that maintains dignity while protecting children and programs from unnecessary drama. The episode concludes with a thoughtful response to an educator contemplating leaving the field due to burnout.
