A Closer Look at Student Teacher Ratios: Does One Size Fit All?

In our Amendment 2 Bus Sto(u)ries Mini-Series, come along with Michelle Zheng as the Kentucky Student Voice Team embarks on a bus tour across Kentucky to speak about and give an open platform to discuss Amendment 2, a proposition that would change how public and private schools could be funded if passed. In our final stop, Michelle talks to current public school student Ivy Litton and public school graduate and current college student Nicholas Hazelett.

In the final episode, hosts Maggie and Lucinda explore the rise of online activism and how it's reshaping youth involvement in government. From trending hashtags to viral movements, they unpack how digital platforms are turning young voices into powerful agents of change, while also discussing the downsides, such as misinformation, performative allyship, and the fleeting nature of internet-driven engagement. This episode is part of Beyond the Ballot: Student Stories of Civic Engagement, a collaborative journalistic package by KSVT’s storytelling team aiming to tell the complex stories of how students in our Commonwealth are engaging with civics inside and outside of the classroom.
