What happens when a husband and wife give up their separate careers and become teachers in the same school district? One Houston couple did just that.

In the latest installment of the series “Inside the Classroom,” Houston’ Public Media’s education reporter, Laura Isensee, brings us the story of Ryan and Christina Beeler.
