Mother’s Day on Weekend Edition

Tune into NPR’s Weekend Edition this Sunday to hear Youth Radio’s Alix Black talk about growing up with a mom who was also a teacher…

Mom always encouraged us to ask questions and never bothered ‘dumbing down’ her answers. She taught us to look for patterns, to think creatively, to draw our own conclusions. Having a teacher for a mom gave me a special appreciation for my own teachers.

This is part of a series of Youth Radio education essays airing in May on NPR.
