Podcasts about american education

In this episode of EdFix, education policy veterans Denise Forte and Andy Rotherham tackle one of the most pressing—and polarizing—questions in American education: should the U.S. Department of Education shrink or shift power to the states? With sharp insights and real-world experience, they unpack the motivations behind efforts to dismantle the department and what that could mean for equity, accountability, and student rights. From civil rights enforcement to federal funding, they explore what's lost (and what might be gained) in a state-led system. It's a timely and clear-eyed conversation about equity, accountability, and the future of public education. Denise Forte is President and CEO of EdTrust. Andy Rotherham is Co-Founder and Senior Partner at Bellwether. [Transcript for Episode 42 is available on EdFixPodcast.com]

Next week, after 29 years in Catholic education (17 in the classroom, 12 in diocesan administration), Chris is (mostly) leaving teaching behind to work with Emily and take over the business side of all she does. This week, after 17 years in the classroom, Casey is also leaving teaching behind to work with Kate on a host of different creative projects, from their music to theatre camps for kids. So this week, we're talking a little about those decisions and a lot about what they have learned about education during their years in the classroom, from how education has changed over the years to how it needs to continue to change as AI looms large. P.S. Making huge life transitions is scary, but a whole lot less scary when you're doing it with friends.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe American education system is failing our children. With only 33% of fourth graders reading at proficiency—a statistic unchanged since 1992—and international rankings showing the US lagging in math, science, and problem-solving skills, parents are increasingly seeking alternatives. Enter the classical education revival: a powerful counter-revolution growing at 5% annually with projected enrollment reaching 1.4 million students by 2035.Classical education isn't a new innovation but rather a return to what worked for 2,500 years. At its core lies a fundamental understanding of humans as "rational animals" requiring development in both intellectual and moral virtue. When you walk into a classical school, you won't see students glued to screens. Instead, you'll find children in uniforms engaged in genuine conversation, studying primary sources and great works of literature, guided by teachers deeply educated in their subjects. The curriculum builds systematically from kindergarten through high school, focusing on worthy, thought-provoking material rather than educational fads.The results speak volumes. Hillsdale College's Barney Charter School Initiative has established 30 member schools across 17 states with remarkable outcomes: 99% graduation rates versus 86% nationally, 63% college placement versus 44%, and significantly higher standardized test scores. But the most profound difference lies in the emphasis on virtues rather than values. Where traditional schools promote subjective values without clear moral grounding, classical schools explicitly teach objective virtues like honesty, courage, responsibility, respect, and wisdom. They approach American history by having students read founding documents directly, acknowledging both the country's flaws and its progress toward fulfilling worthy ideals. This isn't about political indoctrination but about equipping students with the intellectual tools to think deeply and critically about what matters most in human life and society.Key Points from the Episode:• Classical education sector growing 5% annually with projected enrollment of 1.4 million students by 2035• Only 33% of 4th graders read at proficient levels, virtually unchanged since 1992• Hillsdale College leading the renaissance through their Barney Charter School Initiative with 30 member schools across 17 states• Classical schools emphasize virtues over values, teaching objective standards rather than subjective preferences• Key differences include limited technology, focused curriculum, primary source documents, and teaching both intellectual and moral virtues• Better outcomes include 99% graduation rates and 63% college placement compared to national averages• Classical education emphasizes virtues (honesty, courage, responsibility, respect, wisdom) rather than subjective values• These schools teach American history through primary documents while acknowledging both accomplishments and failures• Focus is on developing critical thinking by engaging with great works rather than indoctrinationOther resources: Liberty #14--the 16,000 hour war part 1Liberty #14--the 16,000 hour war part 2American Classical Education video (worthy of your time)Want to leave a review?

Kim on a Whim: Kim vs The Decline of American Education. Marc & Kim discuss the troubling state of American education, focusing on alarming statistics showing a decline in reading and writing scores among students. They express concern over the educational system, questioning whether school boards, local governments, or policies are to blame. The conversation is punctuated with a discussion on an 1912 eighth-grade graduation exam, revealing the stark contrast between the education requirements of the past and today's standards. Kim notes that many modern students lack basic knowledge, citing videos where young people struggle with questions like naming continents or understanding basic math. Marc adds that the education system has been dumbed down over the years, making it easier for politicians to manipulate the public. They also criticize the focus on non-practical subjects, like Latin, and advocate for teaching more useful life skills like budgeting, cooking, and economics.

John Kennedy, a director at the Corsi-Rosenthal Foundation, is tackling an overlooked crisis in American education: air quality.  With the ingenious use of a simple $60 box fan, he's on a mission to revolutionize the health and learning environments of students nationwide. It's mind-boggling how much low-hanging fruit there is here. The difference that clean air makes to health and brain capacity is enormous, and it's a surprisingly cheap problem to fix. In fact, as you'll hear about halfway through our conversation, I was so convinced by John and the Corsi-Rosenthal team's solution that I committed to offering him a $100k Fellowship on the spot. But our discussion went far beyond air quality. John shared fascinating insights into the future of education—how we can reorganize it from the ground up to produce happy, healthy, and high-agency adults ready for the challenges of the 21st century. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

I'm thrilled to be joined today by Pernille Ripp — a passionate educator, author, and literacy advocate. She is the author of Passionate Readers: The Art of Reaching and Engaging Every Child, Passionate Learners: How to Engage and Empower Your Students, and Reimagining Literacy Through Global Collaboration. She's also the founder of the Global Read Aloud, a program that has connected millions of students and teachers around the world through the shared joy of reading.And for all of our benefit, Pernille is also a prolific sharer. After teaching in Wisconsin for over a decade, In her BlueSky re-introduction she noted she was “back living in Denmark because she needed to breathe a bit easier.” And she frequently posts about her experience in the Danish education system, “Fun fact about teaching at my Danish school,” she writes, “when we are sick, we're not required to write sub plans because we're sick.” And by most measures, Danes are among the happiest in the world, despite having among the highest tax rates. Healthcare and PreK-College education is free. Hygge conjures cozy seasonal vibes. Denmark has some of the highest public education participation and teacher pay and some of the lowest student:teacher ratios and class sizes among their OECD peers, including the United States. On a more grim note of comparison, the Wikipedia page for “school shootings in Denmark” contains a single entry from 1994, the only school shooting in Danish history. However, as a PDF, the list of school shootings in the United States since 2000 is 169 pages long with footnotes.Regular listeners of this show will know just how immediately all of this grabbed my attention. In the past we've had guests talk about their experiences with everything from the education system in Trinidad & Tobago to the national Chinese college entrance exam, so I am thrilled at the opportunity to dig into both American and Danish society and education systems with someone who has knowledge and experience in both.Pernille Ripp Bluesky Hosted on Acast.

At the Peaceful Press, we receive so many questions on how to homeschool your child through high school. High school is the last step before how we taught our children and what we taught them is really tested. Increased requirements and laws governing high school can also make it seem like too bit an endeavour to undertake at home or like our children are going to miss out on an essential part of a high school education. With these additional internal and external pressures, it is easy to abandon a living education and dump our teens into the grind of traditional high school test taking.  It doesn't have to be that way though, and test taking does not equal an education. Join Jennifer Pepito and her 27 years of homeschool experience and 6 high school graduates as she walks you through motivation to keep homeschooling and what to plan for in highschool. There is no size fits all, but we hope this episode inspires you to find the size that fits well for your family. Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press!

ACTA's president Michael Poliakoff speaks with the distinguished scholar and education leader, Joshua Dunn, who took on leadership of the recently established Institute of American Civics at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville in June, 2023. Professor Dunn was previously the executive director of the Center for the Study of Government and the Individual at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, where he was also professor and chair of the Political Science department. His book, From Schoolhouse to Courthouse - The Judiciary's Role in American Education, offers an important view of the complex relationship between courts and education. His landmark study co-authored with Jon A. Shields, Passing on the Right: Conservative Professors in the Progressive University, makes a strong case for why robust and uninhibited intellectual inquiry should be at the center of the American academy.

In this week's podcast, Jennifer Richmond and Winkfield Twyman, Jr. talk with Pastor Dumisani Washington on his journey through his early years, his “God Walk” in Africa, a name change, and finally to Israel. The crux of our conversation centers on how he relates the African story to that of Israel and in particular to the current Israeli-Palestine conflict. Dumisani takes us deep into the KGB propaganda of the 1960s that created the illusion of black solidarity with Palestine, playing on settler-colonial themes and tying them to stories of Jim Crow. This propaganda underlines the current affinity between Black Lives Matter and Pro-Palestinian movements that we see playing out in the United States. But as you will hear, Dumisani speaks truths that unveil this disinformation, taking the co-hosts on an unexpected history lesson that spans the globe, and underlines our common humanity.

Walker grew up as a Homeschooled Kid, how did that shape his life? $ BTC 96,926 Block Height 872,651 Today's guest on the show is @WalkerAmerica, a fellow #Bitcoin Pleb and Podcaster who grew up being Homeschooled. Walker had the great idea of us riffing about his experience being a homeschooled kid and my experience with home or unschooling my kids. Why did his parents decide not to send him to the local school and how did that decision effect a young Walker? What happened when @WalkerAmerica decided to join an educational institution and what life-long lasting impression has it left on him? Why are you a Nazi if you don't like the idea of homeschooling and who founded and funded the American Education system from inception and why? We go down some deep rabbit holes on this rip and some comments will carry trigger warnings! A huge thank you to @WalkerAmerica for everything he is doing for #Bitcoin with his podcast and the movies he makes with his wife @carlabitcoin - you guys are amazing!

In recent decades, American education has shifted from teaching essential skills to embedding a progressive agenda under the guise of inclusivity and social justice. The result?

U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona has unique insight into the current state and future of American schools. This week, we're sharing a conversation Secretary Cardona had with host Charlotte Alter last month to help shed light on this changing landscape. Cardona shared cherished memories of being an elementary school principal and the challenges of post-pandemic education. The pair unpacked everything from student loan debt solutions under the Biden administration to the critical role of mental health support in schools around the country. In addressing some of the most pressing issues in education today, Secretary Cardona spoke to the multifaceted use of standardized testing, the integration of AI and new technologies in classrooms, and strategies to address chronic student absenteeism. Tune in for an enlightening conversation on shaping tomorrow's educational landscape with the man at the head of the class.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brian Rashad Fuller is an educator and associate provost at The New School who believes that education in America needs reform to better serve its black students. That is based on his experience as a child growing in South Carolina public schools, and as an administrator in public school systems. As the school year begins this week, Fuller discusses his ideas for reforming our education system for black students, detailed in his new book, Being Black in America's Schools: A Student-Educator-Reformer's Call for Change.

It's that time of year again–reliably bumming out students and parents alike… it 's back to school! But back to school is also a time to reflect on the state of education in this country… and it's not all that great.  America is one of the richest countries in the world. But you wouldn't know it if you looked at our education statistics. We're 16th in science globally. In Math, we scored below the average and well below the scores of the top five countries, all of which were in Asia. And in 2018, we ranked an astonishing 125th in literacy among all countries according to the World Atlas.  As we tumble down the international tables, public schools around the country are getting rid of gifted and talented programs. They're getting rid of standardized testing. All while trying to regain ground from COVID-related learning loss… So how did we get here? Why have public schools deprioritized literacy and numeracy? What role have teachers' unions played in advocating for public education in this country and also in holding kids back by protecting bad teachers? How is socioeconomic segregation hurting academic performance? And what kinds of books should really be taught in public schools?  Today, we're diving deep into these questions and more with three experts who bring diverse perspectives to this debate: Richard Kahlenberg is Director of the American Identity Project and Director of Housing at the Progressive Policy Institute. His many books and essays have focused on addressing economic disparities in education. Maud Maron is co-founder of PLACE NYC, which advocates for improving the academic rigor and standards of K-12 public school curricula. She's also the mother of four kids in New York City public schools. Erika Sanzi is a former educator and school dean in Rhode Island. She is Director of Outreach at Parents Defending Education, which aims to fight ideological indoctrination in the classroom.  We discuss the misallocation of resources in education, the promise and perils of school choice, and how we can fix our broken education system.  And if you like this conversation, good news! All week this week at The Free Press—as summer ends and kids return to class—we're pausing our usual news coverage to talk about education. We've invited six writers to answer the question: What didn't school teach you?  With elite colleges peddling courses on “Queering Video Games,” “Decolonial Black Feminist Magic,” and “What Is a Settler Text?,” there's never been a better time to go back to the proverbial school of life.

Here's a little bonus ep for you ahead of tomorrow's show, which will be a re-run of a really fun one from about 10 years ago! I'm driving the rest of this week to the Midwest to drop my kids off at their respective universities, and I've been thinking a lot about the education systems in China and the U.S. So here's my essay for this week.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – The GOP's 2024 Party Platform aims to transform American education by prioritizing excellence and parental rights. With policies targeting teacher tenure, merit pay, school choice, and the reintroduction of prayer, the GOP seeks to combat poor test scores and promote fundamental education. Their plan offers a new direction to address the longstanding issues in the education system.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – Samuel Blumenfeld exposes how John Dewey's socialist agenda reshaped American public education by diluting literacy. Dewey's curriculum aims to undermine individualism, making it easier to promote socialism. Today, politicians still miss the mark, pushing ineffective reforms like longer school days instead of addressing the root problem: the need for literacy education using phonics.
