Summary

On this episode, Kennedy sits down with Philosopher, Novelist, & Radical for Capitalism Andrew Bernstein to discuss why children's education has declined over the years and how to solve the problem. Andrew explains how American schools have largely rejected phonics as a method to teach reading, which has caused remedial reading problems in children across the country. He later shares his thoughts on introducing philosophy into the classroom. Follow Kennedy on Twitter: @KennedyNation Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
