182: Magnets In Space

Education Fraud, Teachers Unions, Test Prep Culture

The conversation continues regarding the "charter school" label, which the hosts describe as a clever branding exercise for commercial outfits. They discuss the role of teachers' unions and the shift in California's curriculum toward "test prep" to secure state funding. This environment is criticized for stifling actual learning and critical discussion in favor of standardized metrics.
