J-ed Talks

What if you could speak to a student who graduated from Jewish day high school two years ago to ask them about their experiences? Well, in this episode, I tracked down a Jewish day school graduate who was willing to speak to me. "Bob" generously agreed to spend some time chatting informally. As an aside, you will note that I did not have an interview protocol to follow and that I also tried to sometimes provide 'leading questions'. If you are interested in the research side of things, you may want to listen with an ear to how the interview proceeds and how, in a research context, things that the interviewer does or says would have to change. If you are interested in the student perspective, you may want to compare this anecdotal chat to your own knowledge of students or to the more robust research literature that is out there.
