All Things Education by Natalie Arias, Matthew Balter and Lance Barasch

Episode notes

Well, now what? Vouchers are likely to pass during the current legislative session, which will divert public money away from public schools. Meanwhile, severely overdue increases to the state's student allotment remain to be satisfied. Public schools have long served as bedrocks of their communities; Don't they deserve to be adequately funded?

In today's episode, we examine some of the ways that public education, as an institution, is being challenged like never before. Listen to hear our take on the value of public schools, and our response to some of the loudest arguments against them.
