Podcast n°1: Making teaching more affordable

 

I choose this podcast because I think that it is realy interesting.

There are two characters in this podcast which are Deborah Stipek who is a professor and Efundunke Hugues who is a teacher in Berkley Maynard Academy .This bideo talks about the fact the fact that students loans have been reduced in Stanford .

  It is says in the video that Efundunke, which is interviewed, wanted to be an engineer. She says that there was a nedeed of black engineer but she has never heard that there was a nedeed of black teachers, even if it was the case.

But she decided to become engineer. She said that those people a respected paid a lot and she knew that. But then she started to ask herself if that realy was what she wanted to do .

Was that her passion?

She says that if you want to go to Stanford you have to be able to work in groups, to have a valuer direction , but you have to believe in yourself to become successful.When she knew that she was accepted in Stanford she immediatly realized that she could not afford it . So this is the reason why she send an 

e-mail to the President. She explained her passion about teaching to him and the that she could not afford it .

So this is the reason why she says in the video that she does not find that normal to see than young children cannot go to school because their parents cannot afford their education.

She would love to see ger pupils to go to the University. Deborah says that teaching is the most important job, because children are our future !
