Could the answer to helping kids cope with post-pandemic anxiety involve picking up a needle and yarn? In this episode, we’re sitting down with my mom and grandmother to talk about teenage mental health struggles and knitting.

Mark is speaking with his history teacher Scott Schaffner about making history classes fun and interesting to students.
When we observe history as events we didn’t see but just hear about from others, it opens new perspectives on a different way of approaching the discipline of history. Questions like how and why something happened are so much fun because we get to analyze history and not just accept it. It is important to dig a little deeper into history because it will provide us with answers and solutions to today’s problems.
