E122: Are Schools Failing Our Kids? The Data Says Yes - w/ Rick Hess

AEI’s Rick Hess joins Jesse for a wide-ranging conversation on the collapse of academic performance in American schools. They unpack why test scores haven’t recovered since the pandemic, the long-term impact of smartphones, and why nearly 1 in 4 students are now chronically absent. Hess also explains how schools are often structured more for the convenience of adults than the learning needs of children, and why $190 billion in federal aid has done little to reverse the decline.

Topics include:

  • The shocking truth behind the Nation’s Report Card
  • Cellphones, social media, and the student attention crisis
  • Why school starts at 7 a.m. (hint: it’s not for kids)
  • How remote learning exposed classroom priorities
  • The rise of activism over academics in K–12
  • Higher ed dysfunction: grade inflation, adjunct labor, and disappearing rigor
  • What America can learn from Mississippi, Utah, and South Korea
  • Bold reforms to redesign teaching, mentoring, and student achievement
