Episode: America's Public Education System Gets A Report Card
Description: Michael Petrilli from the Thomas B Fordham Institute discusses the results of the recently-released National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) results. The NAEP is often called the "report card" on schools and/or the public education system.
Petrilli says the latest results are concerning and some of the causes can be attributed to the school shutdowns and online-only format over the last couple of years. He also offers ideas to improve education outcomes for kids across the country.
