On this edition of Your Call, we're speaking with Bay Area students about the state of education today.
Students across the country are facing challenges inside and outside the classroom as cash strapped school districts struggle with funding cuts affecting crucial services, including mental health and after school programs. Many students also say the education they're getting isn't engaging or relevant.
What changes would students like to see? How can we support our students and protect our schools?
