I Taught in Public School...Here’s What Parents Aren’t Being Told

What’s it really like inside today’s public schools?

Former teacher Josh Moore joins Calibrate Conversations to share what parents often never hear about—state policies around pronouns, LGBTQ clubs, classroom culture, and the pressure teachers feel between their conscience and district rules.

Josh isn’t here to attack teachers. He worked alongside many faithful Christians trying to love students well. But he also saw systems that kept parents in the dark and students searching for identity in all the wrong places.

We talk about:

• What teachers are—and aren’t—allowed to tell parents
• How “intervention time” and clubs can be labeled one thing but function as another
• Why many students who transition don’t actually thrive
• How Christian parents can disciple kids in a confusing culture
• Practical ways to engage schools without fear or anger
• How the local church can support families and teachers

This is an honest, compassionate conversation from someone who was on the inside—and ultimately left the classroom to serve students as a youth pastor.

➡ If you’re a parent, teacher, or pastor, this episode will help you navigate these issues with truth and grace.
