21 | Coronavirus Pandemic & U.S. Education
-----Description of Podcast-----
The victim from the coronavirus pandemic that has been noticeable, but all too forgotten about, happens to be the U.S. Education system. Teachers are struggling with COVID-19 protocols in schools to ensure safety. Unfortunately, it is leading to unintended negative consequences from students leading to a possible shortage of staff for the upcoming academic year. In this episode of The Half Hour, YuYu Yuan and Spencer Travis break down the pandemic’s impact on U.S. education.

-----About The Half Hour-----
The Half Hour is a current events podcast designed with the intention of helping Extemp competitors (and other Speech and Debate members, as well as listening for the general public) understand the importance of political, social, or economical events on a domestic and international scale. As Extemp competitors only have half an hour to prep a speech, the podcast is designed to brief competitors in the same amount of time it would take for them to prep. Each episode looks at both sides of current events while providing background information to help expand upon the issue. The Half Hour also looks into common questions that people may be asked relating to current events and will work to answer them based on credible news sources from both sides.
