Episode 9: The Education Episode

This week on "Point of Disorder," we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week by diving deep into the heart of America's educational debates. Join us as we sit down with Dr. Mitch Robinson, a key figure from our State Board of Education, to discuss the crucial role of public education in today's society. We'll unpack the contentious world of charter schools and their impact on our educational system, and take a critical look at standardized testing. Plus, we explore why certain political figures, like Donald Trump, express appreciation for "the poorly educated," and we'll reveal Betsy DeVos's vision of an ideal school day—which, hint, includes surprisingly little actual schooling. Tune in to honor our educators and gain insight into the complex landscape of American education.
