In this episode, I discuss the critical role education plays in our society and why we need to make wise choices when it comes to how we educate our children. I explore the impact of federal funding on local education systems and share my concerns about the current state of professional development for teachers. I also discuss the challenges surrounding after-school programs and emphasize the importance of grammar in helping students develop into independent thinkers and effective communicators. Ultimately, I advocate for a shift toward more local control in education and a renewed focus on teaching students how to think, not just what to think.
