Nervous Habits - Episode 12: Inside the American Classroom, Sleep When You're Dead, and a 20/20 Look at the Upcoming 2020 Presidential Election
Nervous Habits host Ricky Rosen is joined by long-time friend and Education Consultant, Adam Rabinowitz. They have a spirited discussion spanning education, politics, and philosophy, and tackle issues including:
--Why even though teachers in America experience the same amount of stress in a given day as an emergency room physician, their pay is still lower than sanitation workers, gas station attendants, and hundreds of other professions...
--What kids really should be learning in school instead of the basic core curriculum of English, Social Studies, Math, and Science...
--Why America needs more male teachers...
--Which of the four major theories about why we sleep is the most strongly supported...
--With all the conflicting information out there, how much sleep you really need each and every night...
--How electricity and cell phones disturb our bodies' circadian rhythms...
--How the Democratic candidates for president should approach the presidential election from a strategy perspective, and finally...
--Who the Trump team is most worried about amongst the Democrats in the 2020 election.
