Ryan Garasich is a good friend, a hilarious comedian and a high school teacher specializing in social sciences and history. He is originally from Pittsburgh, PA but has seen his way around the country. He has taught in western Pennsylvania, Arizona and starting this fall will be teaching in Maryland. He is a super insightful individual with a strong understanding of the education system in the United States, I had the pleasure of sitting down with him to discuss several aspects of the education system in US ranging from public funding, school shootings, standardized testing, the "plague" of participation trophies and much more.
