Peter, Robby, and Casey begin the show with a dive into presidential politics through a recent Chalkbeat article: The 2020 Cheat Sheet: http://projects.chalkbeat.org/primary-2020/index.html#/candidates

How do the current presidential candidates measure up in terms of educational policy platforms - the gang lugs out a Price is Right "spin the wheel" to discuss a variety of ideas within the democratic party.

Finally, the gang interviews Natalie Wexler, author of the recently published book: The Knowledge Gap: The Hidden Cause of America's Broken Education System--and How to Fix It. They discuss the worthiness of teaching skills vs content and the observations of elementary classrooms for Natalie's book that drove her to have concerns over our education system.
