When We Know Better, We Do Better: Building a Future for All Children

Welcome to the 10th installment of The Ed Answer Key’s special bonus series, featuring a heartfelt discussion among five lifelong friends who first met in kindergarten over 65 years ago. Raised in a tight-knit Indianapolis community—and shaped by the excellence of School 26—these remarkable women reunite to share their perspectives on what it truly means to invest in the next generation.

In When We Know Better, We Do Better: Building a Future for All Children, they highlight the power of mentorship, community support, and strong female leadership. Reflecting on an era when libraries buzzed with after-school visitors, spelling bees inspired a love of learning, and teachers built lasting connections, they explore how today’s children can benefit from similar experiences. Balancing humor and insight, the friends discuss the need for more compassion, resources, and creative spaces in modern education, underscoring how one caring adult can make a world of difference for a child in need.

If you believe in the transformative power of local communities, faith in each other’s potential, and championing the success of children everywhere, this episode is a MUST-LISTEN.
