Kush and Craig: Then, Now, and What's Next

Kush and Craig: Then, Now, and What's Next

In our premiere episode of Kids These Days, BPS 101 Superintendent Tom Kim brings together two Batavians from very different chapters of life for an unscripted conversation about what it means to plan for the future. High school senior Kush Adhvaryu is joined by Craig Foltos, lifelong resident and owner of Foltos Tonsorial Parlor, to discuss the potential of a career in finance, how their generations get their news, and the generational divide around "work-life balance". From the influence of favorite teachers to the importance of building community connections, this episode explores the "Portrait of a Graduate" in action and what happens when we take the time to slow down and learn from one another. Kids These Days is a podcast from Batavia Public School District 101 [https://www.bps101.net/], produced in partnership with Area Code: Batavia [https://www.areacodeaudio.com/area-code-batavia].

Introducing: Kids These Days

Kids These Days brings together long-time Batavia residents and current students for real, unscripted conversations. Hosted by Superintendent Tom Kim and produced in partnership with Area Code: Batavia [www.areacodebatavia.com], the show aims to bridge the gap between generations. By sitting down to talk—about school, work, and life in Batavia—we’re moving past stereotypes to get to know our younger neighbors. The gap between the Batavia we remember and the one students are navigating today might not be as wide as you think.
