Matthew Kaye, Coordinator for K-12 Social Studies and Advanced Courses, joins us to talk about how civics is taught in our schools, why it's important, and which Ninja Turtle represents Abraham Lincoln.

Mariner Middle School Civics and U.S. History teacher Jim Kroll tells us about his unique philosophy on teaching, the time his students guilted him into applying for the Golden Apple (which he won), and his experience trying to make it in Hollywood as a comedy writer.
