Molly Lent Professor Harger Intro to Education 6 March 2024 Introduction Growing up I never liked school, in fact I at one point I said I would never step foot into a school again. It wasn’t till a few years after graduating when the pandemic hit and I lost my job that I had a change in heart and values.
