This week on @npr I have a story 8 months in the making. It’s about a kindergarten class in #Ukraine that I couldn’t let go. Part 1 airs tonight on @npratc It’s 12 minutes long — and starts around 4:35pm /6:35pm ET. I hope you’ll listen.

In the #SOTU Biden mentioned students doing their homework in Mcdonald's parking lots The pandemic highlighted America's issues with the internet -- especially in rural areas. @nprpolitics @npr @npr_ed But lots of new federal funding will help: npr.org/2021/11/15/105391725…

Students are still struggling to get internet. The infrastructure law could help

President Biden's infrastructure package includes $65 billion for improving broadband. That money could make a big difference for rural college students, who are especially disconnected.

💡A podcast writing tip: You’re not writing an essay. You’re talking with your audience. Think about who’s listening to you (a sibling, other students, etc.), and write for them.
