It may "take a village to raise a child," but most American families are struggling to do the job on their own. While parents work longer hours for less money and the costs of childcare, healthcare, and college skyrocket, the share of the U.S. budget spent on kids has fallen 22 percent since 1960. More and more children may well not make it to a healthy, productive adulthood. That's terrible for them--and for us as well. But it doesn't have to be this way. In this book, renowned expert David Kirp clarifies the importance of investing wisely in children. He outlines a visionary "Kids First" policy agenda that's guided by a "golden rule" principle: Every child deserves what's good enough for a child you love. And he offers lively and inspiring, on-the-ground accounts of five big cradle-to-college initiatives that can change the arc of all children's lives: strong support for parents; high-quality early education; linking schools and communities to improve what both offer children; giving all youngsters access to a caring and stable adult mentor; and providing kids a nest egg to help pay for college or kick-start a career.

Increased tax credits contained in the $1.9 trillion Covid relief package signed this week could lower child poverty more In 2021 than any other year In U.S. history. That is a really big deal. It turns Naomi Klein’s notion of “shock doctrine” on its head - enacting policies in response to a crisis that promise to make things better than before the crisis began. So what else could we do for children? Here’s my 2011 conversation with David Kirp about his book, Kids First: Five Big Ideas for Transforming Children's Lives and America's Future. This stuff has all been tried and it works.

In this episode you will hear: (06:20) In this week’s news segment, an article from the Hechinger Report “Another Problem with Shifting Education Online: Cheating”, by Derek Newton. When universities went online in response to COVID-19, so did the tests their students took. A person logged in at a well-known mid-Atlantic university to take their chemistry exam, except it turned out not to be the student at all.   (21:53) We’re in chapter 146 of 171 Answers and we’re discussing the importance of each college student who is receiving financial aid puts into developing a relationship with their financial aid officer. We discuss the reasons why this is so important.   (38:29) This week’s bonus content is part 1 of 2 on how colleges use waitlists. We discuss two different ways wait lists are used in this episode. Next week we will discuss several more ways wait lists are used.   (01:04:12) Mark wraps-up his interview with William Segura, Associate Dean at Emory in “Understanding Emory”, Part 2   (01:10:21) Recommended resource: The book, “The College Dropout Scandal” by David Kirp. This classic book looks at the reasons why 40% of students do not graduate from college even after six years. It discusses what changes colleges could make to change their graduation rate and it gives examples of colleges that are very successful at increasing their graduation rates.   College spotlight: Emory is our spotlight for the week   Don't forget to send your questions related to any and every facet of the college process to: questions@yourcollegeboundkid.com If you enjoy our podcast, would you please do us a favor and share our podcast both verbally and on social media?

In a normal year, children would to be starting back to school. This year, some will, some won’t, and parents, teachers, and school systems all face tough choices. What do know about what works to help kids whether they’re in school or not? Here’s my 2019 conversation with DAVID KIRP, Professor at UC Berkeley. His books include THE SANDBOX INVESTMENT and KIDS FIRST, and we talk about innovative programs that make a big difference in kids’ lives and deserve to be invested in and expanded nationally.

Higher education today faces a host of challenges, from quality to cost. But too little attention gets paid to a startling fact: Four out of ten students who start college drop out. The situation is particularly dire for black and Latino students, those from poor families, and those who are first in their families to attend college. David Kirp outlines the scale of the problem and shows that it's fixable. We already have the tools to boost graduation rates and shrink the achievement gap. Many college administrators know what has to be done, but the dropout rate still hasn't decreased for decades. Ironically, it's schools like City University of New York and Long Beach State that are making the most progress at getting more students a better education and a diploma. Kirp relies on vivid, on-the-ground reporting, conversations with campus leaders, faculty and students as well as cogent overviews of cutting-edge research to identify institutional reforms. These reforms include using big data to quickly identify at-risk students, getting them the support they need, and applying behavioral strategies (from nudges to mindset changes) that have been proven to work.

In this hour, Stephen Henderson speaks with University of Michigan Law Professor Richard Primus ahead of the House Judiciary Impeachment Hearings. Plus, UC Berkeley Professor and Author David Kirp joins Stephen to talk about his new book "The College Dropout Scandal."

That acceptance letter into college, it's supposed to be a passport to the American dream, but for too many students it’s actually leading nowhere at all. That’s the unfortunate outcome for the four out of ten students who make it into college but never manage to graduate, and UC Berkeley professor of public policy David Kirp says that we should see that number as a scandalous waste of potential. In this week's show we discuss some of the solutions detailed in his new book, "The College Dropout Scandal."  Host: KCBS Radio reporter Keith Menconi

In most places around the country, school is beginning. This includes the nation's colleges and universities where about 2 million high school graduates will soon start college. Yet 40% of those incoming freshmen will drop out before graduating. Many with debt, limited job prospects, and shattered confidence. Why is this number so high? Why are some colleges succeeding in keeping kids engaged and others failing so miserably? Are there best practices? Is this simply another reflection of the economic divide in America? Is it happening at elite universities? Can we test for it, and what are the consequences if the problem goes ignored? All of these questions are part of the new book The College Dropout Scandal by my David Kirp My conversation with David Kirp: 

This week: We interview David Kirp about his new book, The College Dropout Scandal; and we chat with Cal State Long Beach President Jane Conoley about efforts, starting in local high schools with the Long Beach Promise, to build an institutional culture that helps students to pursue and thrive in college.

Professor of Public Policy, U.C. Berkeley, David Kirp spoke to Bill about his new book "The College Dropout Scandal." Bill and David discuss the scale of the problem and shows that it's fixable - -we already have the tools to boost graduation rates and shrink the achievement gap. Many college administrators know what has to be done, but many of them are not doing the job - -the dropout rate hasn't decreased for decades. It's not elite schools like Harvard or Williams who are setting the example, but places like City University of New York and Long Beach State. Plus, David hope to shine a light on an underappreciated problem in colleges today and prompt colleges to make student success a top priority and push more students across the finish line, keeping their hopes of achieving the American Dream alive.

While there has been a great deal of discussion recently about increasing college access—who gets admitted and what they pay—little attention is given to the fewer than 60 percent of college freshmen in America that graduate within six years. Often students leave college with a mountain of debt, worse off economically than if they had never attended. David Kirp is a professor of public policy at UC Berkeley and a contributing writer for the New York Times. His new book “The College Dropout Scandal” addresses the scope of the problem and explores some possible solutions.

If anyone has grasp for the great social problems that face America, it's David Kirp. He has dedicated his career to tackling developmental roadblocks such as HIV/AIDS, gender discrimination, and healthcare access. In his new book, "Improbable Scholars: The Rebirth of a Great American School System and a Strategy for America's Schools," Kirp chronicles how one poor urban school district continues to defy expectations by graduating students to college at an almost unprecedented rate. He joins HearSay host Cathy Lewis in advance of his October 23rd Darden Lecture in Education at Old Dominion University for a look at the future of America's ailing public school system.

There is an apocryphal story about the state of education, which tells the tale of a man who falls asleep, ala Rip Van Winkle, 100 years ago. He wakes up today and is totally disoriented. Everything is new and different. Transportation, technology, design, fashion, entertainment....then he stumbles into a school, into a 21st century classroom and suddenly he feels calm, at home....because, well because almost nothing has changed. Some would argue that this is part of the problem of education today. Others would argue for the value of those fundamentals; that we’ve long had many of the right ideas, but that we just needed to execute them better. This is where we join the conversation with UC Berkley Professor and education expert, David Kirp and his latest work Improbable Scholars: The Rebirth of a Great American School System and a Strategy for America's Schools My conversation with David Kirp: var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

How do we effectively educate our children? What makes a good education system? These are real fundamental questions. David Kirp a professor at the University of California, Berkeley has spent time researching this issue in public schools that have started approaching the methods of education differently. He has written a new book called “Improbable Scholars” where he writes about real life examples he has investigated. David shares how we can educate students and not discard the slow learners, the special education kids, older teachers or students whose first language is not English. David joined Senior Dad Stan Goldberg for a half hour video interview that will change your perspective on the future of education. If I had two spots open on the panel to speak about public education I would choose Sir Ken Robinson and David Kirp.

Aired 07/24/11 DAVID KIRP is a professor at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California Berkeley. He taught at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and was founding director of the Harvard Center on Law and Education. He served on President Obama's presidential transition team. A former associate editor of the Sacramento Bee and syndicated columnist, his books include The Sandbox Investment: The Preschool Movement and Kids-First Politics; Shakespeare, Einstein, and the Bottom Line: The Marketing of Higher Education; and his latest, KIDS FIRST: Five Big Ideas For Transforming Children's Lives And America's Future What's good enough for a child you love? What's good enough parenting? Good enough early education? Good enough healthcare? Good enough schools? Good enough support for college? Today's guest, DAVID KIRP, envisions a national effort to support and develop our children based on a simple but powerful "Golden Rule:" Every child deserves what's good enough for a child you love. His "Kids-First Agenda" takes two exceptions to much of current thinking and policy. First, while most policy for children focuses on K-12 classrooms, research makes clear that what happens before kindergarten and after school each day is at least as important in the their development. Second, while programs for children usually concentrate on helping the very poorest, Kirp argues that, in this era of underperforming public schools, budget cuts, and two-worker families, America's middle class also needs help. Not only that, programs for the poor are constantly under threat; programs that serve the wider public are more sustainable. In KIDS FIRST, he offers on-the-ground accounts of initiatives that work - and that could affordably be implemented in communities everywhere - to achieve five key priorities: 1) strong support for new parents, 2) high-quality early education, 3) linking schools and communities to improve what both offer children, 4) giving all kids access to a caring and stable adult mentor, 5) providing kids a nest egg to help pay for college or kick-start a career.
