066 - Pit Pony Revisited: The Summer Series - Hannah Jones
Manage episode 498391087 series 3610145
In this powerful reissue from our archive, we revisit the story of Hannah Jones, a history teacher who walked away from education after enduring one of the most dehumanising experiences we have ever heard.
From her early passion for teaching to a brutal relocation that left her physically unwell, mentally exhausted and teaching in a condemned classroom, Hannah’s story is one of survival, clarity and courage.
She shares what it was like to raise a disabled child in a system with no empathy, how her mental health deteriorated and the moment she walked out never to return.
Now Head of Prison Education for England and Wales, Hannah’s story is a testament to what is possible on the other side of teaching.
This is one of our most impactful episodes. If you are in the thick of it, this one is for you.
