“This is a book about my life, about admitting ‘I was wrong,' and about how important it is to say it out loud,” is how our guest today, Diane Ravitch, begins her 2025 memoir, An Education: How I Changed My Mind About Schools and Almost Everything Else.What follows is her incredible life's journey spanning nearly nine decades, from learning to write as a left-hander using a quill pen at her Texas public school to becoming one of the most influential leaders of the modern conservative American education reform movement. Having spent the first half of her professional life in education policy advocating for national standards, testing, and accountability reform alongside charter schools and so-called school choice programs; as a founder of Thomas B. Fordham Institute, Assistant Secretary of Education during the George HW Bush administration, and serving on the board of the National Assessment for Educational Progress or NAEP (the “gold standard” of achievement assessments), however, as the opening quote reveals, after seeing this vision of education reform in action, she very publicly changed her mind about all of it.‍Diane has now spent the last 15 years vigorously challenging the same education reform movement she helped build. Co-founding the Network for Public Education, and writing several best-selling books critical of testing, corporate influence in education policy, and privatization. “We must have a more generous, contemporary vision of public schools and what they can be,” she writes. “I will use whatever time I have to fight for the ideals I believe in, to love the people who mean the most to me, to do whatever I can to strengthen democracy in my beloved country, and to advance the common good.”An Education: How I Changed My Mind About Schools and Almost Everything Else (Columbia University Press)

Tim Harford investigates some of the numbers in the news. This week: A headline in the Mail says more than 100 private schools have closed since Labour came to power and ended the VAT exemption for private schools. Is that number right? Is it true that when Covid hit the UK, a one-week delay in imposing lockdown led to 23,000 deaths? Do 10 million families rely on X as their main source of news? That's what government spokesperson Baroness Ruth Anderson said in the House of Lords, but is it correct? s there really a “quiet revival” of Christian worship? Two YouGov polls found churchgoing had gone up by 50% between 2018 and 2024 in England and Wales. New polling data suggests otherwise.

Gloriavale's private school has been ordered to close its doors, leaving a lawyer wondering how it ever managed to exist. The Education Review Office highlighted ongoing safety concerns in July, and the Ministry put the school on notice in October. The Ministry's confirmed it's cancelling the school's registration. Gloriavale leavers' lawyer, Brian Henry, says he doesn't understand how the school stayed open until now, but he's crediting officials for shutting it down. "This school is the enabler of basically enslaving young children born in the community. It keeps them ignorant." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Aaron welcomes real estate developer Bobby Fijan to discuss one of the most overlooked crises in American urban life: the dramatic decline of children in major cities. Once filled with kids playing in the streets, neighborhoods in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and beyond are now increasingly childless. Bobby and Aaron explore the causes—from Richard Florida's influential “creative class” vision that reshaped city priorities, to financial incentives driving developers to build studios and one-bedrooms instead of family-sized apartments, to skyrocketing private-school costs and the loss of family-friendly infrastructure.They also examine why this matters: cities are engines of opportunity and culture, but forcing ambitious young people to choose between career growth and starting a family is a societal failure. Bobby shares his vision for “baby maybe” housing, practical ways to make cities welcoming for young families again, and why a biblical image of elderly people watching children play in the streets should inspire modern urban planning. The conversation ends with a provocative look at how cities have become extraordinarily dog-friendly—at the expense of being kid-friendly.If you care about the future of America's greatest cities, this is a must-listen.CHAPTERS(00:00 - Intro & Welcome Bobby Fijan)(00:55 - The Collapse of Children in Big Cities)(03:17 - Why Kids Disappear After Age 5 (And Now Even Younger))(04:31 - Richard Florida and the Rise of the Creative Class)(07:13 - How Cities Catered to Young Singles—and Forgot Families)(10:55 - The Insane Cost of Private Schools in Cities)(12:47 - Decline of Catholic/Parochial Schools)(14:22 - Why Childless Cities Matter)(17:48 - Economic & Cultural Hubs Need Families Too)(19:45 - Texas Cities vs. Legacy East Coast Cities)(23:35 - Why We Keep Building Studios & One-Bedrooms)(26:23 - Financialization of Housing & Developer Incentives)(28:28 - Introducing “Baby Maybe” Housing)(31:29 - How to Fix the System (Fair Housing, Subsidies, Vision))(36:36 - Dogs, Kids, and the Future of Urban Life)(46:47 - Closing Thoughts)BOBBY FIJAN LINKS:

Voted #1 as the best private school on many different levels, Holy Rosary Academy in Anchorage is a beacon of hope, excellence and virtue.I'm thrilled to get to visit today with Principal Marie-Louise Schirda about the role of classical education and why it is needed more today than ever before. From the HRA website, Marie-Louise is "rooted in Alaskan soil, not only by virtue of her family's work as the state's largest producer of farm-to-table produce, but also in her long-term commitment to delivering a classical K-12 curriculum in the Catholic tradition to Holy Rosary Academy students.Mrs. Schirda adventured around the globe to achieve her distinctly Catholic education. She attended high school at Trivium School in Massachusetts and then graduated from Thomas More College of Liberal Arts in New Hampshire. While at Thomas More, she spent one semester in Rome, steeped in the art and architecture of many magnificent Catholic churches, backdropped by the grandeur and beauty of the ancient ruins.She earned her master's degree in Anglo-Irish Literature and Drama from University College Dublin, Ireland, and came back to the States to attend Gonzaga University, where she completed her state licensure to teach.

Welcome to Hot Topics! Host Gabrielle Crichlow talks to guest Jordan Sutlick about her journey in starting a microschool in Missouri, set to open in August 2027. This episode focuses on microschools, which are small, independent schools that serve a limited number of students, emphasizing personalized learning and community involvement.Jordan shares her reasons for starting a microschool, especially her experiences as a mother of a neurodivergent child. As the founder of Luminaire Academy, she wants to help children who often don't get the support they need in traditional schools. The school will welcome students starting from age 5 and is already a private school that uses an accredited curriculum.We discuss how microschools allow for tailored learning experiences and the 50/50 model that includes both neurodivergent and neurotypical learners, promoting inclusivity. Luminaire Academy will have students in groups of 10, with a total of 7 groups, ensuring a supportive environment for everyone.Jordan highlights her focus on life skills, entrepreneurship, and hands-on learning. We explore how Luminaire Academy will work with local resources and involve parents in their children's education.Additionally, we talk about a learning approach that lets students progress at their own pace and a focus on overall development that includes nutrition and physical activity. Join us for an interesting conversation about new educational ideas and the impact of microschools in Missouri!Who is Jordan Sutlick?Jordan is the founder of Luminaire Academy. Luminaire Academy was born from the belief that our children aren't struggling, they're underserved. Too often, they're labeled with behavioral issues when in reality, they lack proper nutrition, movement, a nurturing environment, and a curriculum that prepares them to be future leaders. As a mother of a neurodivergent child, I saw how traditional schools overlook the needs of kids who learn differently. We're building the school we couldn't find. A place where nature, creativity, resourcefulness, faith, and personalized learning come together. Here, therapy is welcomed, not argued over. Your child's therapist is contracted during school hours. With a 50/50 classroom model for neurodivergent and neurotypical learners, we're creating a truly inclusive community where your child's learning strategy is tailored to their passions and strengths.You can find Jordan Sutlick:On the web: https://www.luminaire-academy.comBy Email: luminaire.outdooracademy@gmail.comBy Phone: (913) 620-2098Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/yNl2Kz7yFwQRate this episode on IMDB: TBA********************************************Follow A Step Ahead Tutoring Services:On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astepaheadtutoringservicesOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astepaheadtutoringservicesOn X: https://www.x.com/ASATS2013On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a-step-ahead-tutoring-services/On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@astepaheadtutoringservicesOn TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@asats2013On Eventbrite: https://astepaheadtutoringservices.eventbrite.comVisit us on the web: https://www.astepaheadtutoringservices.comSign up for our email list: https://squareup.com/outreach/a41DaE/subscribeSign up for our text list: https://tapit.us/cipPJOCheck out our entire "Hot Topics!" podcast: https://www.astepaheadtutoringservices.com/hottopicspodcastSupport us:Cash App: https://cash.app/$ASATS2013PayPal: https://paypal.me/ASATS2013Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/ASATS2013Zelle: success@astepaheadtutoringservices.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hot-topics--5600971/support Original date of episode: July 23, 2025

Will Mayor-elect Andrew Knack be able to improve Edmonton's relationship with the province? Is there reason to believe city council will operate more smoothly than it has over the past four years?

Join Kyle Jones and Kat Clowes of March Consulting as they dive into the often overwhelming and misunderstood world of college admissions. In this candid conversation, Kat shares her personal story of graduating high school early, navigating college transfers, and realizing just how many students — even high-achieving ones — are unprepared for the reality of applying to competitive schools.   They talk through the ideal timeline that every college-bound student should follow, including why it's critical to start planning as early as 7th or 8th grade if top-tier schools are the goal. Kat explains how starting early opens more opportunities for scholarships, more strategic course planning, and less stress during senior year.   The conversation also covers the surprising affordability of some private and Ivy League schools compared to in-state options, the common pitfalls of the transfer process, and the wide gap between what school counselors can offer and what families actually need.
