Suzanne talks with veteran history teacher Matt Janecek about the experiences that led him to step away from the public school classroom after a two-decade career and make half the salary teaching international students online.

Listen in as they discuss the state of the U.S. classroom and the compromising effects of reducing performance standards, including:

• promoting uniformity
• grade inflation
• students teaching students
• teachers teaching from scripts
• the erosion of critical thinking
