Show Notes

Dr. Tony Watlington Sr.’s mailbag is always open on “After School!” This week’s edition begins with a question from a School District of Philadelphia teacher, who wanted to know how much, on a circumstantial basis, she and her colleagues are allowed to deviate from certain curriculum material. Dr. Watlington addresses this topic, as well as the recently-completed round of contract negotiations with the district’s principals union.
