Summary

A large number of schools return to session this week across the nation, with a persisting problem--teacher shortages. Districts in many states are looking for answers to the staffing issues, and are also looking to re-engage students with cellphone bans taking effect in states like Indiana, Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida. FOX Business Correspondent Lydia Hu joins the Rundown to discuss what is causing teacher shortages, how cellphone bans may impact the classroom, and what states are doing to ensure students have access to high level education. The youngest baby boomers turn 60 this year, and many hope to retire soon. However, Americans are worse off financially than their elder boomers, who retired before them. About one in four Americans over 50 have no retirement savings and never expect to retire. Senior Policy Advisor at the AARP Public Policy Institute, David John, joins to explain the most effective ways to prepare for retirement and how Baby Boomers have placed a strain on Americans’ retirement plans. Plus, commentary from host of the Kennedy Saves The World podcast, Kennedy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
