Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards.

Then, Dom welcomes in Heritage Foundation’s Jonathan Butcher to hear about a new piece he penned for the Daily Signal titled “New Education Model Charts Course for ‘Success Sequence’ in New Year.” Butcher tells about the old way of achieving success in America, telling of the driven necessity of a college education, revealing a stronger influence that’s not often discussed. Then, in laying forth the new ‘success sequence,’ Butcher explains what’s needed in 2023 to find success in adult life, telling that there’s not much preventing anybody from achieving success.
Finally, Dom welcomes Beth Ann Rosica, author for Broad and Liberty, to hear about a concerning series of events that played out in the Upper Darby School District. In Broad and Liberty, Rosica reports that the increases in habitual truancy and violence continue to persist, while academically the school continues to underperform.
