Join Paul Johnson, Governor Doug Ducey, and Professor Henry Thompson, as they delve into pressing issues within the education system. In this episode of New Frontiers, the panel discusses the challenges faced in improving education programs and the potential solutions. They explore controversial topics such as intentional separation within the education system and the need for heterodoxy on college campuses. Explore the dynamic conversation on improving education programs, tackling controversies, and paving the way for a brighter future through education. Topics Discussed in This Video: - Reforms and Challenges: Paul Johnson and Doug Ducey talk about the reforms passed in Arizona to help improve education. Paul brings up the fact that there are certain challenges faced with proposed programs including, correct data collection, improving the actual standards, and fraud. Doug addresses these concerns with current results, comparisons, and the possible solutions to avoid such issues. - The Important Things to Education: Paul talks about the five things he believes are important to education which include adequate funding, principals and superintendents with a vision, choice and competition, teachers having control of classrooms, and testing. Henry agrees with Paul that testing is crucial and questions Doug about “School Choice” and what is next for it in the hopes to improve education. - Shutting Down & Consolidating Schools: Paul makes the statement that he believes schools should shut down if they are not doing good enough and if students are failing and not graduating. He then references Marty Schultz, who talks about a consolidation of school districts to help save money and distribute it better. Doug expresses that a consolidation of school districts may or may not work, but that there are easier alternatives. - An Intended Separation: Paul makes the claim that the education system is intentionally driving a separation of people biased upon the post modernist or post colonialist types of ideas. Henry follows up and discusses all success and failures from all sorts of different cultures, and the fact that there are models still being taught in school and that mainstream economics and political economy are being discredited. - Heterodoxy: Paul, Doug, and Henry make it evident that fostering heterodoxy within universities is crucial for student growth and societal advancement. Encouraging diverse perspectives and confronting ideas rather than resorting to cancel culture enables a richer academic environment that ultimately contributes to economic prosperity and marketplace innovation. Addressing barriers to expansion, such as funding limitations and overlooking the significance of intellect diversity, is essential for universities to thrive. - On a Good Path: Ending the video, the panel makes it certain that while challenges persist, the commitment to improving the education system indicates a promising trajectory for future progress, referencing the American Civics Act in Arizona which signifies positive steps towards enhancing education and societal awareness.

As you've heard at the beginning, the voice on the reading, even though it's a computer-based voice, sounds even better than Siri or Alexa. So kids really like to read with that computer." - Marty Schultz.Cheridotterer.comthewritingglitch.com ★ Support this podcast ★
