Send us a text
Grab another one and join us on Episode 3 of The Knowledge Bar. In this episode, Alex leads a discussion on a so-called ‘Literacy Crisis in the US’. As primary and secondary education has scrambled, colleges are now seeing the impacts of instructional shortfalls, the COVID-19 pandemic, and a shifting culture around reading.
In addition to our main topic, we’ll be talking about bad beats in the sports betting world, an a-political take on the recent election cycle, and how Chris’s students are killing it this semester!

- 1 oz Fresh Espresso Lite (I use an Aeropress to avoid pricey espresso machines)
