Parker Edison, circa 2008

Customs. If you're from a faraway place, it's quite possible a school teacher could be your first real guide into this new country. For someone moving to a new city, teachers can really shape their first impressions of a new culture. In this episode, we hear from an educator taking a holistic approach to teaching a special demographic. Then we stop for a cup of coffee to take note of the ways customs even play a part in what our minds imagine.
