This is what it's like to teach in North Korea

Title:
This is what it's like to teach in North Korea
Speaker:
Suki Kim
Description:

For six months, Suki Kim worked as an English teacher at an elite school for North Korea's future leaders — while writing a book on one of the world's most repressive regimes. As she helped her students grapple with concepts like "truth" and "critical thinking," she came to wonder: Was teaching these students to seek the truth putting them in peril?
